Windows token kidnapping returns to haunt Microsoft
« on: July 19, 2010, 02:57:08 PM »
Microsoft’s problems with Token Kidnapping on the Windows platform aren’t going away anytime soon.

More than a year after Microsoft issued a patch to cover privilege escalation issues that could lead to complete system takeover, a security researcher plans to use the Black Hat conference spotlight to expose new design mistakes and security issues that can be exploited to elevate privileges on all Windows versions including the brand new Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
