What is going on

  • Multiple vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the Windows Kernel and its components, including the Graphics Kernel and Kernel Transaction Manager.
  • Each vulnerability could allow an authorised attacker to elevate privileges locally, with some affecting the Kernel directly.
  • The vulnerabilities include issues such as heap-based buffer overflows, out-of-bounds reads, and integer underflows, all of which could be exploited to gain elevated access.
  • Affected systems may need to be checked for presence of these vulnerabilities to prevent potential exploitation.
  • What to watch: Further details on exploit availability or confirmed attacks could change the risk assessment for UK organisations.
