It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8561 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8561/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8561/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8561","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8561/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8561","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r55r-28g8-8h44"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit improper memory object handling in the Windows kernel to elevate privileges on affected systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-281","name":"Improper Preservation of Permissions"}],"description":"Windows kernel in Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows an elevation of privilege vulnerability due to the way it handles objects in memory, aka \"Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\".","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows kernel in Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016","id":"CVE-2017-8561","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10","products":["microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_8.1","microsoft:windows_rt_8.1","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_server_2012","microsoft:windows_server_2016"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703.","id":"CVE-2017-8562"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2013 SP3, Exchange Server 2013 CU16, and Exchange Server 2016 CU5.","id":"CVE-2017-8560"},"products":["Windows kernel in Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016"],"published":"2017-07-11","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Adobe Type Manager Library Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2426","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-20"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Mount Manager Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-1769","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Windows Hard Link Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-28476","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Windows","id":"CVE-2019-1384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit improper memory object handling in the Windows kernel to elevate privileges on affected systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8561/"}
