Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in Windows Kernel. A local user can cause denial of service conditions on the target system. A local user can obtain potentially sensitive information. A local user can obtain elevated privileges on the target system.
A local user can exploit an object memory handling flaw in the Windows bowser.sys kernel-mode driver to obtain potentially sensitive information from system memory [CVE-2018-8271].
A local user can run a specially crafted application to exploit an object memory handling error in the kernel and obtain potentially sensitive information [CVE-2018-8336, CVE-2018-8442, CVE-2018-8443, CVE-2018-8445, CVE-2018-8446].
The kernel fails to properly initialize a memory address. A local user can run a specially crafted application to obtain potentially sensitive information [CVE-2018-8419].
A local user can run a specially crafted application to exploit a flaw in the Windows Kernel API to gain elevated privileges on the target system [CVE-2018-8410].
A local user can run a specially crafted application to exploit an object memory handling flaw and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the target system [CVE-2018-8455].
