Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1173)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the PsmServiceExtHost.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1198)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in SyncController.dll.
A local user can create a specially crafted application and use this vulnerability in conjunction with another issue to escalate privileges on the system.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1190)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Windows kernel image when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1186)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the wcmsvc.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1184)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way Windows handles COM calls. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and potentially set certain items to run at a higher level and thereby elevate permissions.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1177)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the rpcss.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1169)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Windows kernel-mode driver Win32k.sys. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1164)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Windows kernel. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1159)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Windows kernel. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
10) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1180)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the wcmsvc.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
11) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1179)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the unistore.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1178)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the ssdpsrv.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
13) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1175)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the psmsrv.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
14) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1174)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privilege so the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the PsmServiceExtHost.dll when handling objects in memory. A local user can create a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
