Η Google He discovered μια ευπάθεια ασφαλείας στα Windows 10 S, την έκδοση των Windows 10 που η Microsoft αναφέρει σαν την ασφαλέστερη λόγω του ότι περιορίζει τους χρήστες για να μην χρησιμοποιούν applications Win32. The security flaw allows arbitrary code execution on devices with Device Guard enabled, but according to a post from Neowin, a successful exploit requires system access.
The vulnerability has been discovered by the Google Project Zero program that gives stakeholders a 90 days deadline to troubleshoot their software. But Microsoft seems to have requested an extension on the deadline after releasing a vulnerability update in January.
The company was then preparing a fix for April, but apparently was unable to complete it, asking for a deadline of May. However, Google refused to give another delay in publishing the vulnerability, and as of today all the details are being released on thenetwork.
The Windows 10 S bug is particularly difficult to exploit, but if the "safest Windows system" manages to do so, go for a walk.
Windows 10 S does not allow the installation of Win32 software and Microsoft allows you to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro directly through the operating system. However, the mood of Windows 10 S as autonomous functional will soon stop and will be integrated into Windows 10 as "S Mode".
So although Microsoft has promised a patch to the Patch Tuesday May, it is not certain that it will be released, as the plan is to integrate the operating system as a feature in the company's main OS, namely Windows 10.
If you are interested in more technical details and want the PoC vulnerability you will find it on its announcement page Project Zero of Google.
