Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in the Windows kernel. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user viewed content rendered in a specially crafted Embedded OpenType (EOT) font.
Detailed Information on the risk:
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists because the Windows kernel does not properly validate an argument passed to a Windows kernel system call. 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.
