#Windows Resilient File System (ReFS)
**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of initialized or uninitialized memory in the process heap.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L) while user interaction is required (UI:R). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can trick a local user on a vulnerable system into mounting a specially crafted VHD that would then trigger the vulnerability.

**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 score, the attack vector is Physical. How would an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker with physical access to a vulnerable system could insert a specially crafted USB device. **Are there additional attack vectors?** This vulnerability can also be exploited through a Local attack vector. An attacker authenticated as an administrator on a vulnerable system could mount a specially crafted virtual hard drive (VHD) to exploit the system. This scenario results in a lower CVSS score which is why the primary attack vector is listed as Physical in our documentation.
