CVE-2013-0008

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows versions prior to the fixed version

Description The issue arises from the improper handling of window broadcast messages by the Windows kernel, allowing local users to gain privileges via a crafted application. This could enable an attacker to take complete control of an affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. Users with fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those operating with administrative user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows versions prior to the fixed version, update to the latest version to resolve the issue. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
