kernel zero day
About this tag
The kernel zero day tag covers discussions about actively exploited Windows kernel elevation-of-privilege vulnerabilities, particularly CVE-2025-62215, which was fixed in Microsoft's November 2025 Patch Tuesday. This update addressed 63 CVEs across Windows 10/11 and Server, including the kernel zero day and a critical GDI+ remote code execution bug.
