Use after free in Windows KDC Proxy Service (KPSSVC) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
**Why is this AMD CVE included in the Security Update Guide?** The vulnerability assigned to this CVE is in certain processor models offered by AMD. The mitigation for this vulnerability requires a Windows update. This CVE is being documented in the Security Update Guide to announce that the latest builds of Windows enable the mitigation and provide protection against the vulnerability. Please see the following for more information: * AMD-SB-7029
**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** In this case, a successful attack could be performed from a low privilege AppContainer. The attacker could elevate their privileges and execute code or access resources at a higher integrity level than that of the AppContainer execution environment.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L) while user interaction is required (UI:R). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can trick a local user on a vulnerable system into mounting a specially crafted VHD that would then trigger the vulnerability.
**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required is Low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker with low privileges creates a scheduled task that is set to run when a user logs on and spoofs interfaces that belong to many services so the victim can connect to the attacker's server instead of the original.
**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 invest time in repeated exploitation attempts through sending constant or intermittent data.
Use after free in Windows Notification allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Use after free in Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.
