| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-073, 3070102) for 'Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Driver 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 an affected system and runs a specially crafted application.
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability - CVE-2015-2363, CVE-2015-2365, CVE-2015-2366
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the way the Windows kernel-mode driver 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. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take complete control over an affected system.
Win32k Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2015-2367
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel-mode driver improperly handles certain non-initialized values in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could leak memory addresses or other sensitive kernel information that could be used for further exploitation of the system.
Win32k Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2015-2381, CVE-2015-2382
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel-mode driver that could allow the disclosure of kernel memory contents to an attacker. This vulnerability is caused when the Windows kernel-mode driver leaks private address information during a function call.
