MS12-041: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2709162)

high Nessus Plugin ID 59459

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is affected by several vulnerabilities in the Kernel-Mode drivers that could allow elevation of privilege :

 - Flaws in the way the Windows kernel-mode drivers manage driver objects could be exploited to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2012-1864, CVE-2012-1865, CVE-2012-1866)

 - Windows kernel-mode drivers do not properly allocate memory when handling fonts, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2012-1867)

 - A race condition exists in the way that the kernel deals with specific thread creation attempts. This could be exploited to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode.
 (CVE-2012-1868)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2.
