Descriptions

Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2, Vista, and Server 2003 and 2008 does not properly assign activities to the (1) NetworkService and (2) LocalService accounts, which might allow context-dependent attackers to gain privileges by using one service process to capture a resource from a second service process that has a LocalSystem privilege-escalation ability, related to improper management of the SeImpersonatePrivilege user right, as originally reported for Internet Information Services (IIS), aka Token Kidnapping.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2, vista y Server 2003 y 2008 no asignan apropiadamente las actividades a las cuentas (1) NetworkService y (2) LocalService, lo que podría permitir que los atacantes dependientes del contexto consigan privilegios mediante el uso de un proceso de servicio para capturar un recurso de un segundo proceso de servicio que tiene una capacidad de escalado de privilegios LocalSystem, relacionada con la administración inadecuada del derecho de usuario SeImpersonatePrivilege, como se informó originalmente para Internet Information Services (IIS), también se conoce como token Secuestro.
