Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Microsoft Windows 10 (versions 1809, 21H2 and 22H2), Windows 11 (versions 23H2, 24H2, 25H2 and 26H1) and Windows Server 2019 contain an out-of-bounds read in the Win32k component that allows privilege elevation. An attacker needs valid authorized access and can exploit it over a network to gain higher privileges. Upgrade to the fixed builds listed for each affected version, such as 10.0.17763.9245 for Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019, or 10.0.26100.9445 for Windows 11 24H2.
