Microsoft Windows Ancillary Function Driver Privilege Elevation Vulnerability (2592799) - This host is missing an important security update according to Microsoft Bulletin MS11-080. Successful exploitation could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to a user's system and runs a specially crafted application. The flaw is caused by an error in Ancillary Function Driver (AFD) which does not properly validate input before passing the input from user mode to the Windows kernel
