    CVE-2019-1214 Windows CLFS Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability


    Posted: 13 Sep 2019

    MITRE CVE-2019-1214

    An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.

    To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system, and then run a specially crafted application to take control over the affected system.

    The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how CLFS handles objects in memory.

    Hello Steve,

    Correct. The fix was included in the 9/10 updates. KB4515384 for Windows 10 version 1903.
