Technical details
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the Windows USB Driver that can be exploited to perform local privilege escalation. The vulnerability is triggered through improper memory bounds checking when processing USB-related operations, allowing an authenticated attacker with local system access to read memory beyond intended boundaries. Exploitation requires local access and prior authorization on the system. A successful exploit allows an attacker to escalate their privileges to a higher level, potentially gaining administrative access. Microsoft has released security patches to address this vulnerability.
