2. Multiple vulnerabilities related to an improper handling of memory addresses can be exploited locally via a specially designed application to obtain sensitive information;
3. Multiple vulnerabilities related to an incorrect handling of objects in memory done by the Windows kernel-mode driver can be exploited locally via a specially designed application to gain privileges;
4. Multiple vulnerabilities related to an improper initialization of objects in memory can be exploited locally via a specialy designed application to obtain sensitive information;
5. An improper handling of objects in memory related to proper enforcement of VTLs (virtual trust levels) can be exploited locally via a specially designed application to gain privileges.
