What it is about

Windows ist ein Betriebssystem von Microsoft. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in verschiedenen Versionen von Microsoft Windows Server und Microsoft Windows ausnutzen, um seine Privilegien auf administrative Rechte zu erhöhen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, um Informationen offenzulegen, um einen Denial of Service herbeizuführen, um den Benutzer zu täuschen und andere, nicht näher spezifizierte Auswirkungen zu verursachen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically. For some of the vulnerabilities a person has to take part, for example by opening a file, email or web page.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • seine Privilegien auf administrative Rechte zu erhöhen
  • beliebigen Code auszuführen
  • Informationen offenzulegen
  • einen Denial of Service herbeizuführen
  • den Benutzer zu täuschen, andere, nicht näher spezifizierte Auswirkungen zu verursachen
