**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** A successful attacker could bypass the BitLocker Device Encryption feature on the system storage device. An attacker with physical access to the target could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to encrypted data.

Use after free in Windows Connected Devices Platform Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into sending a request to a malicious server via the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) Snap-in. This could result in the server returning malicious data that might cause arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious message to the server, potentially leading to remote code execution.

Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Windows Imaging Component allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information locally.

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a network.

Protection mechanism failure in Windows BitLocker allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature with a physical attack.

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Update Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L) while user interaction is required (UI:R). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can trick a local user on a vulnerable system into mounting a specially crafted VHD that would then trigger the vulnerability.
