Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to an affected system and runs a specially crafted application designed to send a device event message to a higher-integrity process. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.
Detailed Information on the risk:
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Client/Server Run-time Subsystem (CSRSS), allowing arbitrary code to be executed in the context of another process. If this process runs with administrator privileges, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
