| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-025, 3038680) for 'Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to an affected system and runs a specially crafted application. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the account of another user who is logged on to the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts potentially with full user rights.
- Registry Virtualization Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability(CVE-2015-0073)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that Windows Registry Virtualization improperly allows a user to modify the virtual store of another user. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the account of another user who is logged on to the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts potentially with full user rights.
- Impersonation Level Check Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability(CVE-2015-0075)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows fails to properly validate and enforce impersonation levels. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass user account checks to gain elevated privileges.
* 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.
