#Security Vulnerability
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
**In what scenarios can the security feature be bypassed?** On machines with slow or older USB controller hardware, the Group policy might have (silently) failed to apply. On such machines, the attacker can trivially exploit this enforcement failure by attaching a USB storage device to the affected machine.
**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.
**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** This vulnerability could lead to a contained execution environment escape.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is unintentional read access from uninitialized memory, which can be from either kernel memory or another user-mode process.
**According to the CVSS metric, availability is low (A:L). How could an attacker impact the availability?** The performance can be interrupted and/or reduced, but the attacker cannot fully deny service.
**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain specific limited SYSTEM privileges.
