Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-12823 is a local privilege escalation issue in Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 1.2.0.300. A person or process already running on the machine could potentially abuse a kernel driver memory corruption flaw to gain higher privileges. The provided sources do not show remote exploitation or active exploitation. Exposure appears limited to systems running Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security version 1.2.0.300. Risk is higher where untrusted users, scripts, or applications can run locally on protected embedded or server systems. Treat as a targeted remediation item for affected deployments. It is not evidenced as internet-remote or actively exploited in the supplied sources, but privilege escalation in security software can increase the impact of a local compromise. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 1.2.0.300.; Check Kaspersky guidance for the fixed or supported replacement version.; Update or replace affected installations according to vendor guidance..
