Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a double-free error in the Client/Server Run-time Subsystem (CSRSS) within WINSRV.DLL when handling HardError messages.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website.

NOTE: Various other unspecified vulnerabilities discovered internally by Microsoft have also been reported.
