VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35323/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Microsoft Windows, which can
be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing calls to
the "SystemParametersInfo()" function. This can be exploited to cause
a kernel crash by issuing specially crafted SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER and
SPI_GETDESKWALLPAPER calls.

The vulnerability is confirmed in fully patched versions of Windows
XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict local access to trusted users only.
