An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver improperly handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system, and then run a specially crafted application to take control over the affected system.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how CLFS handles objects in memory.

CVE-2010-0237 The Windows Registry Adventure #7: Attack surface analysis - Project Zero
Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero
In the first three blog posts of this series, I sought to outline what the Windows Registry actually is, its role, history, and where to find further information about it. In the subsequent three posts, my goal was to describe in detail how this mechanism works internally – from the perspective of its clients (e.g., user-mode applications running on Windows), the regf format used to encode hives, and finally the kernel itself, which contains its canonical implementation. I believe all these elements are essential for painting a complete picture of this subsystem, and in a way, it shows my own approach to security research. One could say that going through this tedious process of getting to know the target unnecessarily lengthens the total
