Vulnerability Information
Multiple Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities
Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist 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. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data;
or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit the vulnerabilities, an attacker would first have to log on to the
system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could
exploit the vulnerabilities and take control of an affected system. The update
addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how the Windows kernel-mode driver
handles objects in memory.
The following tables contain links to the standard entry for each
vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:
Vulnerability title CVE number Publicly disclosed Exploited
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0143 No No
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0165 No Yes
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0167 No Yes
Graphics Memory Corruption Vulnerability CVE-2016-0145
A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows font library
improperly handles specially crafted embedded fonts. An attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could install programs; view, change,
or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability, such as
by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, or by convincing a
user to visit an untrusted webpage that contains embedded fonts. The security
update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows font library
handles embedded fonts.
The following tables contain links to the standard entry for each
vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:

Graphics Memory Corruption Vulnerability CVE-2016-0145 No No
