Windows Sync Host Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Sync Host Service handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could allow an application with limited privileges on an affected system to execute code at a medium integrity level.

To exploit the vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Sync Host Service handles objects in memory.
