Discussion
Microsoft Windows Kernel 'Win32k.sys' CVE-2012-2530 Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Microsoft Windows is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that occurs in the Windows kernel due to a use-after-free error.
A local attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts may cause a denial-of-service condition.
