Integer overflow or wraparound in Microsoft Graphics Component allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could evade Mark of the Web (MOTW) defenses.

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

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.
