Los drivers kernel-mode en Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, Windows RT 8.1 y Windows 10 Gold, 1511 y 1607 permiten a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de una aplicación manipulada, una vulnerabilidad también conocida como "Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability". Una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-3266, CVE-2016-7185 y CVE-2016-7211.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within MSXML. By performing actions in script, an attacker can cause a pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.

Windows Kernel Registry Hive loading suffers from a relative arbitrary read in nt!RtlValidRelativeSecurityDescriptor.
