Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
This security update resolves two publicly disclosed vulnerabilities and one privately reported vulnerability in the Windows kernel-mode drivers. The vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user views content rendered in a specially crafted TrueType font.
Detailed Information on the risk:
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists because the Windows kernel-mode drivers do not properly validate changes in certain kernel objects. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
