The Hotfix (MS15-038, 3049576) for 'Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to the system and runs a specially crafted application. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would first have to log on to the system.
- NtCreateTransactionManager Type Confusion Vulnerability (CVE-2015-1643)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows fails to properly validate and enforce impersonation levels. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass impersonation-level security checks and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.
