Newly discovered zero-day exploit affects almost every version of Windows

Researchers from Trustwave's SpiderLabs research team recently discovered a new zero-day exploit that affects all versions of Windows from Windows 2000 all the way up to Windows 10. Trustwave initially discovered the exploit last month after seeing it advertised on a Russian hacking forum for the not-so-affordable price of $95,000. According to security researcher Brian Krebs, the exploit is of the "local privilege escalation” variety and, as a result, works in tandem with other exploits.
