CVE-2024-38107Windows — use-after-free in the Power Dependency Coordinator

A use-after-free in the Windows Power Dependency Coordinator hands a local attacker the machine's highest account (SYSTEM). Microsoft classes it as elevation of privilege and publishes nothing about how the flaw is reached.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Install the August 2024 Windows update. It ships in the monthly rollup, so a machine that is current on patches already carries the fix.
