#vulnerability

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

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted print task to a shared vulnerable Windows Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service across a network. Successful exploitation could result in remote code execution on the server.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass Secure Boot.

**According to the CVSS metric, the Attack Vector is Physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker needs physical access to the target computer to plug in a malicious USB drive.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N). How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** As an authenticated user, the attacker could send a specially crafted string of data over the network, causing the application to crash.

**According to the CVSS metric, the Attack Vector is Physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker needs physical access to the target computer to plug in a malicious USB drive.

**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.

**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.

**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 kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass Secure Boot.
