"The remote Windows host is missing security update 4100480. It is,
therefore, affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability that
exists when the Windows kernel fails to properly handle objects in
memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then
install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log
on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted
application to take control of an affected system. ");
