Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects the Windows networking driver on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. A person or process already able to run code locally could gain higher privileges. The business risk is mainly for legacy, unpatched systems that still allow user logons or untrusted applications. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 systems missing Microsoft MS12-032 guidance or updates. Systems without local user access or untrusted code execution have lower practical exposure. Treat this as a legacy platform privilege-escalation risk. It is not presented as remotely exploitable or actively exploited in the supplied sources, but affected systems should not remain unpatched where users or applications can run locally. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and updates from MS12-032 where applicable.; Retire or isolate unsupported Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 systems.; Restrict local logon rights on affected legacy hosts..
