Local privilege escalation via heap buffer overflow
Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Streaming Service on affected Windows releases allows local users to elevate privileges. Microsoft has not disclosed the specific code locus, malformed input, or incorrect memory-copy operation that overruns the heap buffer. Authenticated local access is required; successful exploitation gains elevated Windows privileges without remote reachability or user interaction.
