One of the most important security updates is KB3186973 which fixes one major Windows Kernel vulnerability affecting all Windows editions. There are multiple Windows session object elevation of privilege vulnerabilities that exist in the manner that Windows handles session objects. These vulnerabilities allow a locally authenticated attacker to hijack the session of another user.
