Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2019-0943. PoCs published by Google Security Research.
AI-analyzed exploit summary The exploit demonstrates an Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerability in the Windows Font Cache Service by manipulating section objects to gain write access, leading to an arbitrary memcpy in the service context.
Description
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC). An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. 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 that could exploit the vulnerability and take control over an affected system. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows handles calls to ALPC.
