DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Spaceport.sys allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in Windows Spaceport.sys, the Storage Spaces kernel driver, allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary code at the kernel level across a broad range of Windows 10, 11, and Server editions. The CWE-125 out-of-bounds read in this kernel driver can be leveraged - under high-complexity conditions such as heap grooming - to corrupt adjacent kernel memory structures and redirect execution, yielding SYSTEM-level privileges. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated local user account with the ability to issue I/O control operations against Spaceport.sys - the Windows Storage Spaces kernel driver. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a locally exploitable kernel driver flaw requiring only a low-privileged account but demanding high attack complexity, consistent with needing precise heap layout, race conditions, or specific trigger sequencing to convert an OOB read into reliable code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-released patches via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, use your asset management systems to identify all Windows 10, 11, and Server systems deployed in your environment; prioritize those where users maintain local login rights. …
