Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Graphics Component allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Visual Studio allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

Missing synchronization in Windows Hyper-V allows an authorized attacker to deny service over an adjacent network.

Time-of-check time-of-use (toctou) race condition in Microsoft Windows QoS scheduler allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into sending a request to a malicious server via the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) Snap-in. This could result in the server returning malicious data that might cause arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

Use after free in Windows Connected Devices Platform Service allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

**According to the CVSS score, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A).

The attack cannot be performed across multiple networks (for example, a WAN) and would be limited to systems on the same network switch or virtual network.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** A local, authenticated attacker could gain elevated local system or administrator privileges through a vulnerability in the Win32k.sys driver.
