MS15-061: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3057839)

high Nessus Plugin ID 84059

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to improper handling of buffer elements. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to request the contents of specific memory addresses. (CVE-2015-1719)

 - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to a user-after-free error. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to run a specially crafted application, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2015-1720)

 - A elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to run a specially crafted application, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2015-1721)

 - Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, with a specially crafted application, to escalate privileges to full administrative rights.
 (CVE-2015-1722, CVE-2015-1723, CVE-2015-1724, CVE-2015-1726)

 - Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due to improperly validated user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, with a specially crafted application, to escalate privileges to full administrative rights. (CVE-2015-1725, CVE-2015-1727)

 - Multiple elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in the Windows kernel-mode driver due a failure to properly free memory. A local attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, with a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code in the context of another user. (CVE-2015-1725, CVE-2015-1727)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, and 2012 R2.
