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

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker could create a crafted vhdx file and can call the vhdmp api with vhdx as one of the arguments.

Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Storage Port Driver allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

Use after free in Microsoft Brokering File System allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Media allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to send a series of specially crafted MSMQ packets in a rapid sequence over HTTP to a MSMQ server. This could result in remote code execution on the server side.

**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. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

**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 win a race condition.
