Descriptions

The kernel driver, accessible to low-privileged users, exposes a function that fails to properly validate the privileges of the calling process. This allows creating files at arbitrary locations with full user control, ultimately allowing for privilege escalation to SYSTEM.

El controlador del kernel, accesible para usuarios con pocos privilegios, expone una función que no valida correctamente los privilegios del proceso que lo llama. Esto permite la creación de archivos en ubicaciones arbitrarias con control total del usuario, lo que en última instancia permite la escalada de privilegios a SYSTEM.
