AI-suggested

Given the absence of patches, the most effective mitigation is to upgrade affected systems to a supported and fully patched version of Windows 10 or later. Organizations should inventory their environments to identify any systems still running Windows 10 Version 1507 and prioritize their upgrade or decommissioning. Restrict local access to trusted users only and enforce strict access controls to minimize the risk of exploitation. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious activity indicative of privilege escalation attempts. Disable or limit use of legacy components or features related to Win32K if possible, through group policies or system configuration. Regularly audit user privileges and remove unnecessary local accounts to reduce the attack surface. Finally, maintain robust backup and recovery procedures to mitigate the impact of potential exploitation.

Description

Double free in Windows Win32K - ICOMP allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
