CVE-2026-27908 is an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Windows TDI Translation Driver, tdx.sys. The flaw is a use-after-free condition in kernel-mode code that can be triggered by a locally authorized attacker. Successful exploitation requires winning a race condition, indicating a timing-sensitive path in which freed memory can be reused in a way that leads to unintended kernel behavior. Microsoft classifies the issue as Important and notes that exploitation is considered more likely. The vulnerability enables escalation from a low-privileged local context to SYSTEM.
