<p>A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) handles objects in the memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.</p>
<p>There are multiple ways an attacker could exploit the vulnerability:</p>
<ul>
<li>In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability and then convince users to view the website. An attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to open an email attachment or click a link in an email or instant message.</li>
<li>In a file-sharing attack scenario, an attacker could provide a specially crafted document file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability, and then convince users to open the document file.</li>
</ul>
<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that the Windows GDI handles objects in the memory.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Runtime improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in an elevated context.</p>
<p>An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application on the victim system.</p>
<p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way the Windows Runtime handles objects in memory.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when DirectX improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability 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.</p>
<p>To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.</p>
<p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how DirectX handles objects in memory.</p>
<p>A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Windows Codecs Library handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.</p>
<p>Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a program process a specially crafted image file.</p>
<p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Windows Codecs Library handles objects in memory.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that fdSSDP.dll handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions.</p>
<p>To exploit the vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application.</p>
<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring the ssdpsrv.dll properly handles objects in memory.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows CloudExperienceHost fails to check COM objects. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.</p>
<p>To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted script or application.</p>
<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by checking COM objects.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector improperly handles data operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.</p>
<p>An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application on the victim system.</p>
<p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector handles data operations.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector improperly handles file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.</p>
<p>An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application on the victim system.</p>
<p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector handles file operations.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Microsoft Store Runtime improperly handles memory.</p>
<p>To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to gain execution on the victim system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application to elevate privileges.</p>
<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Microsoft Store Runtime handles memory.</p>
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Win32k.sys. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.</p>
<p>To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted script or application.</p>
<p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows handles calls to Win32k.</p>
