Use after free in Windows Broadcast DVR User Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**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.

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows OLE allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Host Process for Windows Tasks allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Common Log File System Driver 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.

**According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a high loss of confidentiality (C:H), no effect on integrity (I:N) and some loss of availability (A:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this use after free vulnerability could view sensitive, previously freed memory heap information (Confidentiality) since the impacted component might be divulged to the attacker. While the attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity), they might be able to force a crash within the function (Availability).

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate from a low integrity level up to a medium integrity level.
