Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0024)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

2) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0026)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

3) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0056)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

4) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0078)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

5) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0079)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

6) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0080)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

7) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0081)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.

8) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-0082)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of objects in memory by Windows kernel-mode driver. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
