CWE
KEV
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-362 | The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently. |
| CWE-416 | The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |

AI Powered Q&A
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
An attacker with local access and limited privileges could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with potentially higher privileges, leading to full compromise of the affected system, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a race condition in the Windows Win32K graphics component (GRFX) where concurrent execution using a shared resource occurs without proper synchronization. This flaw allows an authorized local attacker to execute code on the affected system.
