UNpatched kernel module memory corruption vulnerability in Windows
Adobe Type Manager atmfd.dll is a kernel module that is provided by Windows and provides support for OpenType fonts. A memory-corruption flaw in Adobe Type Manager allows for manipulation of Windows kernel memory, which can result in a wide range of impacts.
The exploit code successfully obtains SYSTEM privileges on Windows XP through Windows 8.1 systems, both 32-bit and 64-bit... This can be used to bypass web browser and other OS-level sandboxing and protections.
A practical solution to this problem is not currently available.
