**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** A race condition is triggered when the admin begins administering from the host system and not a guest or nested guest.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** The attacker would gain the rights of the user that is running the affected application.
User interface (ui) misrepresentation of critical information in Microsoft Edge for Android allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
Time-of-check time-of-use (toctou) race condition in Windows Subsystem for Linux 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.
**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** System internal configuration could be disclosed by this vulnerability.
**According to the CVSS metric, the privilege required is none (PR:N) and user interaction is none (UI:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker doesn't require any privileges on the systems hosting the web services. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could cause Remote Code Execution or Information Disclosure on web services that are parsing documents that contain a specially crafted metafile, without the involvement of a victim user.
Exposure of private personal information to an unauthorized actor in Azure Stack allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.
**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.
Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Microsoft Office Excel allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
