Some Win32K functions incorrectly validate input parameters prior to NT Service Pack 2. This problem could allow an attacker to write an application that passes malformed parameters to a Win32K function which may result in a critical system failure. Exploitation would require that the attacker can cause the application to be executed on a vulnerable system. Reportedly, this could also be exploited through an ActiveX control residing on a maliciously constructed website.
