Watch Out - New Windows Zero Day Vulnerability (ALPC Bug) - If exploited, could allow local users to obtain elevated (SYSTEM) privileges. NO work around or patches yet.



The zero-day flaw has been confirmed working on a "fully-patched 64-bit Windows 10 system."

The vulnerability is a privilege escalation issue which resides in the Windows' task scheduler program and occured due to errors in the handling of Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) systems.

Microsoft is likely to patch the vulnerability in its next month's security Patch Tuesday, which is scheduled for September 11.
