The kernel API in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2012 mishandles registry objects in memory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Windows Registry Elevation of Privilege 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.
