Microsoft Windows MessageBoxA Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability because the operating system fails to handle certain API calls with unexpected parameters.

A local unprivileged attacker may exploit this issue by executing a malicious application.

Successful exploits will crash the operating system, denying further service to legitimate users.
