#Security Vulnerability

**Why is the CERT/CC the assigning CNA (CVE Numbering Authority)?** This CVE is regarding a vulnerability in a third party driver. CERT/CC created this CVE on behalf of the researcher who discovered the vulnerability.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

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

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with normal privileges could send a modified XPS file to a shared printer, which can result in a remote code execution.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker would only be able to delete targeted files on a system. They would not gain privileges to view or modify file contents.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker or targeted user to have specific elevated privileges. As is best practice, regular validation and audits of administrative groups should be conducted.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Any authenticated attacker could trigger this vulnerability. It does not require admin or other elevated privileges.
