| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-063, 3063858) for 'Vulnerability in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker places a malicious .dll file in a local directory on the machine or on a network share. An attacker would then have to wait for a user to run a program that can load a malicious .dll file, resulting in elevation of privilege. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to visit such a network share or website.
- Windows LoadLibrary EoP Vulnerability(CVE-2015-1758)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows LoadLibrary when it fails to properly validate user input. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate privileges on a targeted system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative 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.
