This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected 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 BLTRECORD::bStretch function in the win32kfull driver. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied bitmaps prior to processing them. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
