TITLE:
Microsoft Windows Message Queuing Service Privilege Escalation

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36214

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36214/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the Message Queuing
service (MSMQ) when processing data received from user space. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via
specially crafted IOCTL requests.

Successful exploitation requires that the Message Queuing service is
manually installed and enabled.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
