SYSTEM code execution via undisclosed integer overflow
Published Feb 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Integer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Graphics Component allows local users to execute code with SYSTEM privileges via a crafted file. Microsoft identifies CWE-190 but has not disclosed the affected routine, arithmetic operation, input format, or resulting memory corruption. Exploitation requires prior local low-privilege code execution, needs no separate user interaction, and yields SYSTEM-level code execution.
