An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) Key Isolation service improperly handles memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to gain execution on the victim system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application to elevate privileges.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows CNG Key Isolation Service handles memory.
