Abstract

During the lecture we will demonstrate and explain recent Microsoft Windows vulnerabilities discovered by ourselves. At the time of CFP only one of these vulnerabilities is public (MS10-011), and the rest is scheduled to be patched in April (there are 7 total). A successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities leads to local privilege elevation or DoS conditions, and (mostly) only Windows up to XP/2003 are affected. Even though the exploitation of these vulnerabilities is not very practical (they are not of “click and you’re root” type), the way they work, from a technical point of view, may still be very interesting for other security researchers.
