Microsoft Windows User Access Control (UAC) Bypass Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects the 'RtlQueryRegistryValues()' API function.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts may cause a denial-of-service condition.
