| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS16-008, 3124605) for 'Security Update for Windows Kernel to Address 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.
Multiple Windows Mount Point Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Windows while validating reparse points being set by sandbox applications. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user 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.
