Vulnerability in Windows kernel could allow elevation of privilege: June 9, 2015 (KB3063858)

Microsoft has released a Microsoft security advisory about this issue for IT professionals. The security advisory contains additional security-related information. To view the security advisory, visit the following Microsoft website:
