Title: Microsoft Windows Kernel NULL Pointer Dereference Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft Windows is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that occurs in the Windows kernel. This issue stems from a NULL-pointer dereference. Specifically, the kernel fails to properly validate a user-supplied argument before passing it to a system call.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will cause a denial of service.
