| Integer overflow or wraparound in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Universal Plug and Play (upnp.dll) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Improper access control in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally. |
| Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Windows DWM allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Integer overflow or wraparound in Windows RDP allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. |
| Use after free in Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows Sensor Data Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Uncontrolled resource consumption in Windows DHCP Server allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Wireless Networking allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows Win32K allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows Client-Side Caching (CSC) Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Missing cryptographic step in Windows Boot Loader allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally. |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists when MSDT is called using the URL protocol from a calling application such as Word. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability can run arbitrary code with the privileges of the calling application. The attacker can then install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts in the context allowed by the user’s rights.
Please see the MSRC Blog Entry for important information about steps you can take to protect your system from this vulnerability. |
| We have investigated reports of a spoofing vulnerability in AppX installer that affects Microsoft Windows. Microsoft is aware of attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability by using specially crafted packages that include the malware family known as Emotet/Trickbot/Bazaloader.
An attacker could craft a malicious attachment to be used in phishing campaigns. The attacker would then have to convince the user to open the specially crafted attachment. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Please see the Security Updates table for the link to the updated app. Alternatively you can download and install the Installer using the links provided in the FAQ section.
Please see the Mitigations and Workaround sections for important information about steps you can take to protect your system from this vulnerability.
December 27 2023 Update:
In recent months, Microsoft Threat Intelligence has seen an increase in activity from threat actors leveraging social engineering and phishing techniques to target Windows OS users and utilizing the ms-appinstaller URI scheme.
To address this increase in activity, we have updated the App Installer to disable the ms-appinstaller protocol by default and recommend other potential mitigations. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Common Log File System Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use of uninitialized resource in Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally. |
| Integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) in Windows DHCP Client allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network. |
