Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

CVE-2016-3310 [HIGH] Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Description: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application to take control of an affected system.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows kernel handles objects in memory.

Root Cause Analysis of Windows Kernel UAF Vulnerability lead to CVE-2016-3310
By Wayne Chin Yick Low | August 16, 2016
In the first quarter of 2016, we realized that there were tons of windows kernel use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability patches in Microsoft bulletins where most of the vulnerabilities came from Google Project Zero, which is favourable to us because we can easily access those proof-of-concepts (POC). While doing a root cause analysis of one of the UAF vulnerabilities stated in CVE-2015-6100, we discovered that there is an alternative way to trigger the same UAF vulnerability, even after the specified patch has been applied due to weak security fixes. In this blog post, we will discuss the journey of unveiling CVE-2016-3310 as specified in MS16
