| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS15-111, 3096447) for 'Security Update for Windows Kernel to Address Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The more severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to an affected system and runs a specially crafted application.
Multiple Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities
Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the way the Windows kernel handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities 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.
Trusted Boot Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability - CVE-2015-2552
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Windows fails to properly enforce the Windows Trusted Boot policy. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could disable code integrity checks, allowing test-signed executables and drivers to be loaded on a target device. Furthermore, an attacker could bypass Trusted Boot integrity validation for BitLocker and Device Encryption security features.
Windows Mount Point Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability - CVE-2015-2553
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly validates junctions in certain scenarios in which mount points are being created. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially run arbitrary code in the security context of the user running a compromised application.
* 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.
