CVE-2017-0213 – Windows COM EoP

Wrote another blog post for Milton Security about details of a vulnerability that James Forshaw of Google Project Zero found in January, that exploits a bug in Windows COM Aggregate Marshaler. An attacker can use this bug to elevate privileges on Windows machines.

Microsoft had 90 days to patch, which they have with last month’s security updates. The post includes a proof of concept code for 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows from Win7-10 and Server 2k8-2k16.
