Descriptions

Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Vulnerabilidad de elevaciĆ³n de privilegios del kernel de Windows

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of NtQueryInformationToken. The issue results from the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.

Microsoft Windows Kernel contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability that could allow for privilege escalation.
