**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 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?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read portions of heap memory.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows SMB allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user trigger the payload in the application.

Deserialization of untrusted data in Visual Studio allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with explicit permissions could exploit the vulnerability by logging in to the SQL server and could then elevate their privileges to sysadmin.

**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.
