CVE-2023-21685: Microsoft WDAC OLE DB provider for SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

CVE-2023-21692: Microsoft Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could attack a Microsoft Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) Server by sending specially crafted malicious PEAP packets over the network.

CVE-2023-21820: Windows Distributed File System (DFS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** This vulnerability could be triggered when a windows client connects to a malicious remote share.

CVE-2023-21688: NT OS Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2023-21802: Windows Media Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

CVE-2023-21801: Microsoft PostScript Printer Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

CVE-2023-21805: Windows MSHTML Platform Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

CVE-2023-21804: Windows Graphics Component Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2023-21800: Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2023-21799: Microsoft WDAC OLE DB provider for SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.
