CVE-2016-3373 [MEDIUM] Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Description: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Kernel API improperly allows a user to access sensitive registry information. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain access to user account information that is not intended for the user.
A locally authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by running a specially crafted application.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that the Windows Kernel API correctly restricts access to user account information.
