This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the rendering of fonts. A crafted OpenType font rendered by the kernel can trigger an integer overflow before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code as SYSTEM.
