Windows zero day vulnerability publicly exposed by Google engineer

A Google security engineer has discovered a Windows zero-day flaw that could be used to crash PCs or gain additional access rights. The issue is less critical than other flaws as it’s not a remotely exploitable one. The vulnerability is confirmed on a fully patched Windows 7 x86 Professional (win32k.sys version 6.1.7601) and reported on Windows 8.18126. Microsoft acknowledged the vulnerability late Tuesday, saying it is investigating. Security company Secunia has also picked up on the flaw.
