Summary

Kernel Streaming WOW Thunk Service Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability. This is a network-based vulnerability with low attack complexity and requires low privileges to exploit. It does not require user interaction.

Impact

This vulnerability has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with low privileges to elevate their privileges on the affected system, potentially gaining full control over the system. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of system files or data, and disruption of system availability.

Exploitation

There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.

Patch

A patch is available. Microsoft has released an official fix for this vulnerability on August 13, 2024.

Mitigation

1. Apply the official patch released by Microsoft as soon as possible. 2. Implement the principle of least privilege to minimize the impact of potential exploits. 3. Monitor and restrict network access to affected systems. 4. Keep all systems and software up to date with the latest security patches. 5. Implement network segmentation to limit the potential spread of an attack. 6. Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to detect and respond to potential exploitation attempts.

Microsoft’s August Security Update on High-Risk Vulnerabilities in Multiple Products - Security Boulevard
On August 14, NSFOCUS CERT detected that Microsoft released a security update patch for August, which fixed 90 security issues involving widely used products such as Windows, Microsoft Office, Visual Studio and Azure, including high-risk vulnerabilities such as privilege escalation and remote code execution. Due to an error in the Windows Power Dependency Coordinator after release, local attackers authenticated by ordinary users can exploit this vulnerability by running special programs to obtain SYSTEM permissions of the target system.
Patch Tuesday August 2024: 6 Zero-Day Vulnerabilities Under Active Exploitation, and Windows Downgrade Attacks
On top of Microsoft releasing fixes for an unusually high number of zero-days and vulnerabilities that are under Active Exploitation, there was also a demonstration of a new Downgrade Attack against Windows that was demonstrated at Black Hat 2024 and Def Con 32 —where an NTLM hash attack was also demonstrated. First demonstrated at Black Hat 2024 and Def Con 32, CVE-2024-21302 Windows Secure Kernel Mode Elevation of Privilege and CVE-2024-38202 are two of the zero-day vulnerabilities that exist in Windows systems that were leveraged by security researcher Alon Leviev with SafeBreach in their proof of concept for a Downgrade Attack with a tool named Windows Downdate.
