Descriptions

afd.sys in the Ancillary Function Driver (AFD) component in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SP2 does not properly validate input sent from user mode to the kernel, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated using crafted pointers and lengths that bypass intended ProbeForRead and ProbeForWrite restrictions, aka "AFD Kernel Overwrite Vulnerability."

El archivo afd.sys en el componente Ancillary Function Driver (AFD) en Windows XP SP2 y SP3 y Windows Server 2003 SP1 y SP2 de Microsoft, no comprueba apropiadamente la entrada enviada desde el modo de usuario al kernel, lo que permite a los usuarios locales alcanzar privilegios por medio de una aplicación diseñada, como es demostrado mediante el uso de punteros y longitudes diseñadas que omiten las restricciones previstas ProbeForRead y ProbeForWrite, también se conoce como "AFD Kernel Overwrite Vulnerability".
