Windows SDK < 10.0.26100.4188 Privilege Escalation

high Nessus Plugin ID 240932

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Windows SDK installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.26100.4188. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. Improper access control in Windows SDK allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Windows SDK version 10.0.26100.4188 or later.
