Microsoft Windows LSASS Connection Validation Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows LSASS Connection Validation Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a local privilege escalation vulnerability through LSASS (Local Security Authority Subsystem Service). The vulnerability appears to be due to an error in the implementation of an enhanced access control feature. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to overwrite system files that they do not have access to.

Successful exploitation could result in a local user gaining SYSTEM level access on the computer.
