Synopsis
The remote Windows host is affected by a security feature bypass vulnerability.Description
The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a security feature bypass vulnerability due to certain kernel-mode pages being marked as RWX (Read, Write, Execute) even when Hypervisor Code Integrity (HVCI) is enabled. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability, via a specially crafted application, to bypass code integrity protections.Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 10.See Also
