It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-0743 exists.\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-2018-0743/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0743/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-0743","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0743/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-0743","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hh9m-g5p9-8fw8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Subsystem for Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit improper memory handling in Windows Subsystem for Linux to elevate privileges on affected Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10 version 1703, Windows 10 version 1709, and Windows Server, version 1709 allows an elevation of privilege vulnerability due to the way objects are handled in memory, aka \"Windows Subsystem for Linux Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\".","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-02-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-02-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"43962","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux - 'execve()' Local Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in Windows Subsystem for Linux","id":"CVE-2018-0743","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10","products":["microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_server_2016"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows kernel","id":"CVE-2018-0744"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows","id":"CVE-2018-0742"},"products":["Windows Subsystem for Linux"],"published":"2018-01-04","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit improper memory handling in Windows Subsystem for Linux to elevate privileges on affected Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0743/"}
