| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-051, 3057191) for 'Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on locally and runs arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability cannot be exploited remotely or by anonymous users.
- Multiple Microsoft Windows Kernel Memory Disclosure Vulnerabilities(CVE-2015-1676, CVE-2015-1677, CVE-2015-1678, CVE-2015-1679, CVE-2015-1680)
Information disclosure vulnerabilities exist when the Windows kernel-mode driver leaks private address information during a function call, which could allow the disclosure of kernel memory contents revealing information about the system to an attacker. The information disclosure vulnerabilities by themselves do not allow arbitrary code execution. However, an attacker could use them in conjunction with another vulnerability to bypass security features, such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how the kernel-mode driver handles objects in memory.
- Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability(CVE-2015-1701)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Win32k.sys kernel-mode driver improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The update addresses this vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel-mode driver handles objects in memory.
* 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.
