Language:

Synopsis

The Windows kernel is affected by several vulnerabilities that could allow escalation of privileges.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of the Windows kernel that is affected by one or more of the following vulnerabilities :

- A race condition when creating certain types of kernel threads may allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode and take complete control of the affected system. (CVE-2010-1888)

- A double free vulnerability when the kernel initializes objects while handling certain errors may allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode and take complete control of the affected system.
(CVE-2010-1889)

- A failure to properly validate access control lists on kernel objects may allow a local attacker to cause the system to become unresponsive and automatically restart. (CVE-2010-1890)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2.
