Local privilege escalation via improper memory-object handling
Published Feb 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Memory corruption in Microsoft Windows Function Discovery Service allows local users to execute code with elevated permissions via a crafted application. Microsoft has not published the affected function, object type, or precise memory operation that mishandles the application's input. Local authenticated access and the ability to run a specially crafted application are required; successful exploitation grants elevated code execution.
