AI-suggested

  1. Restrict local access to systems running Windows 10 Version 1507 by enforcing strict access controls and limiting the number of users with local accounts.
  2. Apply the principle of least privilege rigorously to minimize the privileges of local users, reducing the potential impact of privilege escalation.
  3. Monitor system logs and behavior for unusual local activity that might indicate attempts to exploit race conditions or privilege escalation.
  4. Isolate legacy systems from critical networks and sensitive data environments to contain potential compromises.
  5. Where possible, upgrade affected systems to a supported and patched version of Windows 10 or later to eliminate the vulnerability.
  6. Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect and block suspicious activities related to privilege escalation.
  7. Prepare incident response plans specifically addressing local privilege escalation scenarios to enable rapid containment and remediation.
  8. Stay alert for official patches or security advisories from Microsoft and apply updates promptly once available.

Description

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Microsoft Graphics Component allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
