Descriptions

The kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP2, Vista Gold and SP1, and Server 2008 Gold does not properly validate data sent from user mode, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted PE .exe file that triggers a NULL pointer dereference during chain traversal, aka "Windows Kernel NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability."

El kernel de Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 y SP3, Server 2003 SP2, Vista Gold y SP1, y Server 2008 Gold no valida apropiadamente los datos enviados desde el modo de usuario, lo que permite a los usuarios locales alcanzar privilegios por medio de un archivo PE.exe creado que desencadena una desreferencia de puntero NULL durante el salto de cadena, tambiƩn se conoce como "Windows Kernel NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability".
