The vulnerability CVE-2020-1530
CVE-2020-1530 was issued for a remote access elevation of privilege vulnerability in Windows. Microsoft does not provide details, but only writes that an elevated privilege escalation exists if Windows Remote Access handles memory improperly. According to Microsoft, to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to obtain execution on the victim's system (but can do so remotely). An attacker could then execute a specially crafted application to elevate privileges.
However, ACROS Security states that it is a use-after-free vulnerability in Windows Phonebook that allows attacks via Windows Remote Access. Microsoft released security updates for Windows 7 to Windows 10 on August 11, 2020. However, users of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 who do not have an ESU license will no longer receive the security updates released by Microsoft.
