Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Known Exploited Vulnerability
This Microsoft Windows Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability is part of CISA's list of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities. Microsoft Windows Common Log File System Driver contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could allow a threat actor for privileges escalation.
The following remediation steps are recommended / required by April 27, 2026: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
