| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS13-077, 2872339) for 'Vulnerability in Windows Service Control Manager Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker convinces an authenticated user to execute a specially crafted application. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker either must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally or must convince a user to run the attacker's specially crafted application.
- Service Control Manager Double Free Vulnerability - CVE-2013-3862
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code and take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
