CVE-2010-3944
win32k.sys in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 does not properly validate user-mode input, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Win32k Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.76%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
