Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

A flaw in the Windows Kernel allows an attacker with local access to gain higher privileges (escalate from a regular user to administrator). This is dangerous because it lets someone already on your computer take full control of the system.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Windows Kernel (CWE-131: Incorrect Buffer Size Calculation) allows an authenticated local user to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Exploitation requires prior local code execution capability and results in complete system compromise.
