In short
A flaw in Windows kernel drivers allows a local user to run malicious code with system-level privileges. An attacker needs to already have access to the computer and can exploit this to take complete control.
Technical detail
The vulnerability exists in the Transaction Manager kernel-mode drivers across multiple Windows versions, allowing local attackers to achieve privilege escalation through a crafted application. The attack requires local code execution capability and results in elevation to kernel-level privileges, enabling full system compromise.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
The kernel-mode drivers in Transaction Manager in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2; Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2; Windows 7 SP1; Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1; Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607; and Windows Server 2016 allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."
