CVE-2014-4076 is a local elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Windows TCP/IP stack on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2. The flaw affects tcpip.sys and tcpip6.sys and was addressed by Microsoft in bulletin MS14-070. Available reporting describes the root cause as a NULL-pointer dereference in tcpip.sys that can be triggered through a specially crafted IOCTL request sent to the TCP device via DeviceIoControl. Successful exploitation allows a local user to elevate privileges to a higher integrity context, including SYSTEM.
