Gadgets & Tech – The ability of processes to elevate their own privilege level was supposedly impossible in Windows Vista, but Microsoft has acknowledged that there is a vulnerability that could allow processes in Windows Vista to elevate their own privilege to administrator level. This could allow a hacker to take complete control of a system.
To expect MS to issue a product that isn't vulnerable to someone, or something just isn't in their game plan. I've never understood why they just don't do the work necessary to prevent the problem in the first place. Surely the programmers know the vulnerability of their products, so it's either they don't care; or are to pressured to get the product out that they don't have the time. Whichever it is needs to be corrected. To do so would be a boost to the companies reputation.
The security bulletin was written on Dec. 11, but wasn't publicized until Friday when SkyRecon Systems, acknowledged by Microsoft as the discoverer, decided to toot its horn in a press release. http://pricelistreviews.org
Although precise details have not been released, SkyRecon Systems' engineers seem to indicate in the press release that the problem involves the Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) system.
