About this tag
The tag ntqueryinformationtoken covers a Windows kernel information disclosure vulnerability, CVE-2025-53136, which affects Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 24H2 builds. This bug stems from changes to the kernel function RtlSidHashInitialize and involves a TOCTOU (time-of-check time-of-use) issue that leaks kernel addresses, undermining KASLR (Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization). The vulnerability creates a timing window where attackers can exploit race conditions to obtain sensitive kernel pointers from userland buffers, potentially enabling local privilege escalation. Discussions focus on the technical details of the exploit, its impact on security defenses, and the risks it poses to enterprise IT environments running affected Windows versions.
A routine security update intended to tighten Windows kernel defenses has instead opened a new attack vector: a reliably exploitable information‑disclosure bug tracked as CVE‑2025‑53136 that leaks kernel addresses on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 24H2 builds. The vulnerability—rooted in...
