Product:
Graphics Kernel
Summary
Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization in Graphics Kernel allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally. This vulnerability can lead to significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Attackers with low privileges can exploit this issue, making it a serious concern.
Details
| Severity | Base Score | CVE |
|---|---|---|
| MEDIUM | 6.7 | CVE-2025-55226 |
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have local access to the system and be able to execute code. The attacker can leverage the race condition in the Graphics Kernel to gain unauthorized access to shared resources, allowing them to execute arbitrary code. This requires a high level of skill and knowledge of the system’s architecture.
Affected Products
- Graphics Kernel: Vulnerable to race condition allowing local code execution.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the latest security updates provided by Microsoft. Users should also ensure that their systems are configured to limit local access and monitor for any suspicious activities that may indicate exploitation attempts.
