Description

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when the Windows Secondary Logon Service fails to properly manage requests in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code as an administrator. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
