Vulnerability Information
Multiple Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities
Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Windows
when a Windows kernel API improperly allows a user to access sensitive
registry information. To exploit the vulnerabilities, a locally authenticated
attacker would need to run a specially crafted application.
An attacker who uses this method could then gain access to information not
intended to be available to the user. The security update addresses the
vulnerabilities by correcting how the kernel API restricts access to this
information.
The following table contains links to the standard entry for each
vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:
Vulnerability title CVE number Publicly disclosed Exploited
Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0070 No No
Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0073 No No
Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0075 No No
Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2016-0079 No No
