Buffer overflow in win32k.sys in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages improper handling of objects in memory, aka "Win32k Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
