|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS16-073 | Security Update for Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers (3164028) | Windows Vista | Important | 15-06-2016 |
Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in Windows when the Windows kernel-mode driver fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
Detailed Information on the risk:
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows Virtual PCI (VPCI) virtual service provider (VSP) fails to properly handle uninitialized memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially disclose contents of memory to which they should not have access.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the target system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability. The vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate user rights directly, but it could be used to obtain information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting VPCI memory handling.
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the target system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability. The vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate user rights directly, but it could be used to obtain information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting VPCI memory handling.
