CVE-2024-38041: Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 23/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 82.4% of all records.
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.7159; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.7159; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.6054.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.7159; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.7159; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.6054 or later.
