Frequently Asked Questions
1
Can this be exploited remotely?
No. The vulnerability is rated with local attack vector, so an attacker needs local access to the affected system.
2
What level of access does an attacker need before exploitation?
The attacker must already be authorized and have low privileges on the system. Exploitation then allows elevation of privilege.
3
What is the potential impact after successful exploitation?
Successful exploitation can have high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
