Frequently Asked Questions
1
What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?
The attacker must already be authorized on the affected Windows system and exploit the flaw locally. The supplied data does not indicate that remote exploitation is possible.
2
What is the likely security impact after successful exploitation?
Successful exploitation can elevate privileges and has high potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could allow a locally authorized attacker to obtain greater control over the affected system.
