CVE-2015-1702

MEDIUM 6.9EPSS 1.60%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The Service Control Manager (SCM) in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 does not properly constrain impersonation levels, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Service Control Manager Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."
