Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers Privilege Elevation Vulnerabilities (2436673) This host is missing a critical security update according to Microsoft Bulletin MS10-098. The flaws are due to the way windows kernel-mode driver improperly allocate memory when copying data from user mode, frees objects that are no longer in use, manage kernel-mode driver objects, validate input passed from user mode. Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to run arbitrary code in the kernel mode
