Description A double free vulnerability in the Ancillary Function Driver (AFD) in afd.sys allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application. This vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code and take complete control of an affected system.

For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 8, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 8.1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows RT Gold and 8.1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the afd.sys driver until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable afd.sys driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.
