DESCRIPTION:
Alex Plaskett has reported a vulnerability in HTC HD7, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the HTCUtility.dll
driver when processing the 0x9020002C IOCTL and can be exploited to
read certain data from or write certain data to arbitrary kernel
memory.

Successful exploitation requires tricking a user into installing a
malicious application.
