Description
The Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) subsystem of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to access kernel memory and gain privileges via a malicious program that modified some system structures in a way that is not properly validated by privileged operating system functions.
