An attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application on the guest operating system, to execute arbitrary code on the host operating system. (CVE-2016-0088)
- Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exists in Hyper-V due to a failure to properly validate input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system.
An attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application on the guest operating system, to disclose memory information on the host operating system.
(CVE-2016-0089, CVE-2016-0090)
Note that users who have not enabled the Hyper-V role are not affected by these vulnerabilities.
