Vulnerability Information

Windows Lock Screen Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability - CVE-2016-3302

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly allows
web content to load from the Windows lock screen. To exploit the 
vulnerability, an attacker with physical access to a users computer could 
either connect to a maliciously configured WiFi hotspot or insert a mobile 
broadband adaptor in the users computer. An attacker who successfully 
exploited the vulnerability could potentially execute code on a user's locked
computer.

However, the attacker would have no way to either force a user to connect to 
the hotspot or control the default browser selection on the users computer. 
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the behavior of
the Windows lock screen to prevent unintended web content from loading.

The following table contains links to the standard entry for each 
vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:
