Summary
A heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows Resilient File System (ReFS) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with local access can exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise or further attack escalation.
Recommendation
Apply security patches from Microsoft immediately and restrict local access to trusted users.
