So, apparently this is the "fix" for CVE-2025-21204. Microsoft recently updated their advisory to say what the update does.
Prior to everybody freaking out, the advisory for CVE-2025-21204 said nothing about what it does.
Two gripes:
- MSRC publishing content-free advisories has consequences, but they never seem to appreciate this.
- I told MSRC YEARS AGO that they can avoid an entire class of LPE vulnerabilities in 3rd-party software and their own software by not allowing non-admin users to be able to create directories off of C:\. They refused to make any change because it might "break things".
Great job, folks.
