#Windows Bluetooth Service

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Bluetooth Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Bluetooth Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthorized attacker could exploit the Windows Bluetooth driver vulnerability by programmatically running certain functions that could lead to remote code execution on the Bluetooth component.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** This vulnerability's attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This means it cannot simply be done across the internet, but instead needs something specific tied to the target. Good examples would include the same shared physical network (such as Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11), logical network (local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (MPLS, secure VPN to an administrative network zone). This is common to many attacks that require man-in-the-middle type setups or that rely on initially gaining a foothold in another environment.
