Prioritize patching. It under exploitation confirmed by CISA and has a public proof of concept.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
A flaw in Windows Kernel allows an attacker who already has access to a computer to gain higher privileges by exploiting a timing issue where two operations interfere with each other. This matters because it lets them take full control of the system.
A race condition in the Windows Kernel due to improper synchronization of shared resources (CWE-362, CWE-415) permits an authenticated local attacker to achieve privilege escalation. The vulnerability requires the attacker to already have local access and involves exploiting concurrent execution windows to bypass privilege boundaries. Successful exploitation grants administrative-level access to the system.
