Descriptions

The NtUserConsoleControl function in win32k.sys in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 before SP1, allows local administrators to bypass unspecified "security software" and gain privileges via a crafted call that triggers an overwrite of an arbitrary memory location. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that 'the Administrator to SYSTEM "escalation" is not a security boundary we defend.

** IMPUGNADA ** La función NtUserConsoleControl en win32k.sys en Microsoft Windows XP SP2 y SP3, y Server 2003 anterior a SP1, permite a usuarios administradores locales evitar "programas de seguridad" no especificados y obtener privilegios mediante una petición modificada que provoca la escritura de zonas de memoria de su elección. NOTA: el vendedor impugna la importancia de este informe, manteniendo que 'el "escalado" a SYSTEM de los administradores no es una limitación de seguridad que protejamos"
