CVE-2022-38037: Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2022-37978: Windows Active Directory Certificate Services Security Feature Bypass

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

CVE-2022-38032: Windows Portable Device Enumerator Service Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability

**In what scenarios can the security feature be bypassed?** On machines with slow or older USB controller hardware, the Group policy might have (silently) failed to apply. On such machines, the attacker can trivially exploit this enforcement failure by attaching a USB storage device to the affected machine.

CVE-2022-37982: Microsoft WDAC OLE DB provider for SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

CVE-2022-38028: Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2022-37984: Windows WLAN Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2022-38016: Windows Local Security Authority (LSA) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** This vulnerability could lead to a contained execution environment escape.
