Microsoft Acknowledges Vulnerability In Vista
Monday, December 25th, 2006

A user could launch malicious code within the CSRSS that would elevate their privileges on a computer, such as going from an ordinary user to an administrator, said Thomas Kristensen, chief technology officer for Secunia AsP in Denmark. PC World - Microsoft Acknowledges Vulnerability In Vista
