Privilege escalation via out-of-bounds driver read
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the Windows Mobile Broadband Driver allows physically proximate attackers to elevate privileges. Microsoft has not disclosed which driver routine processes input beyond its intended buffer or which physical input triggers the read. The physical attack vector requires proximity to an affected Windows device; the resulting privilege level is not publicly specified.
