Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

A flaw in the Windows Kernel allows an attacker with local access to gain higher privileges and take control of the system. This is dangerous because it lets unauthorized users escalate their permissions to administrator level.

A race condition (CWE-367) in the Windows Kernel enables local privilege escalation when an unprivileged user can exploit timing windows during kernel operations. The vulnerability requires local code execution capability and allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
