Summary

The kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and blue screen), or obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and possibly bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted application, aka "Microsoft Windows Kernel Memory Disclosure Vulnerability."

descriptionThe version of Windows running on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the kernel-mode driver that can reveal portions of kernel memory. An attacker can exploit these and gain information about the system, which can then be used to launch further attacks. (CVE-2015-0077, CVE-2015-0094, CVE-2015-0095) - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the kernel-mode driver due to improper validation of thread tokens. An authenticated attacker, using a specially crafted application, can exploit this issue to gain administrative credentials in order to elevate privileges. (CVE-2015-0078)
