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.

[HIGH] November Patch Tuesday: 53 Vulnerabilities and a Massive Adobe Update
This November Patch Tuesday is moderate in volume and severity. Microsoft released patches to address 53 unique vulnerabilities, with 25 focused on Remote Code Execution fixes. Windows OS receives 14 patches, while the lion’s share is focused on Browsers, Microsoft Office, and Adobe. According to Microsoft, there do not appear to be any actively attacked vulnerabilities in the wild in this patch release.
Interestingly enough, none of the Windows OS patches are listed as Critical this month, but we do recommend focusing on CVE-2017-11830 and CVE-2017-11847 , as they address a Security Feature Bypass, and a Privilege Elevation respectively.
It should also be noted that CVE-2017-11848 , CVE-2017-11827 , CVE-2017-11883 , CVE-2017-8700 have public exploits, but they do not appear to be used i
