Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows versions prior to the fixed version

Description The issue arises from the improper handling of invalid pointers by the Windows kernel, allowing local users to gain privileges. This could enable an attacker to run arbitrary code in kernel mode, potentially leading to the installation of programs, viewing, changing, or deleting data, or creating new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP1, update to a version that includes the fix for the improper handling of invalid pointers. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
