Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU1320
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2009-0079
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper isolation of processes in the RPCSS service. Accessing the computer under the context of a NetworkService or LocalService account an attacker can obtain privileged security tokens and execute code with privileges of SYSTEM account.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in privilege escalation allowing to execute arbitrary code and take complete control of an affected system.
Note: this vulnerability was being actively exploited.

EUVDB-ID: #VU1319
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2009-0080
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to incorrect placing of access control lists (ACLs) on threads in the current ThreadPool. By leveraging incorrect thread ACLs an attacker can access NetworkService or LocalService account, obtain elevated privileges and execute code with privileges of SYSTEM account.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in privilege escalation allowing to execute arbitrary code and take complete control of an affected system.
Note: this vulnerability was being actively exploited.

Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2009-0078
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient security protections in Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers. Accessing the computer under the context of a NetworkService or LocalService account an attacker can obtain privileged security tokens and execute code with privileges of SYSTEM account.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in privilege escalation allowing to execute arbitrary code and take complete control over the affected system.
Note: this vulnerability was being actively exploited.
