Vulnerability Information

   NDISTAPI Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability - CVE-2011-1974

   An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Remote Access
   Service NDISTAPI driver. The vulnerability is caused when the NDISTAPI
   driver improperly validates user-supplied input when passing data from
   user mode to the Windows kernel. A local attacker who successfully
   exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code and take
   complete control of an affected system. The attacker could then install
   programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with
   full user rights.
