Null pointer dereference in Windows Installer allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows Installer when the Windows Installer fails to properly sanitize input leading to an insecure library loading behavior. A locally authenticated attacker could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the input sanitization error to preclude unintended elevation.

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Management Instrumentation allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Double free in Windows Setup and Deployment allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Smart Card allows an authorized attacker to disclose information with a physical attack.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows NetBIOS allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly initializes objects in memory. To exploit this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel initializes objects in memory.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere in Windows DHCP Server allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

Use after free in Windows MIDI Service Module allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Windows DWM Core Library allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Integer overflow or wraparound in Microsoft JScript allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
