This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
