FAQ

According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to no loss of confidentiality (C:N) but have major impact on integrity (I:H) and on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability? An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could affect the integrity and availability because they could delete privileged registry keys. Confidentiality is not affected by a successful attack, however, because the attacker cannot read or modify the information.
