Summary
This host is missing an important security update according to Microsoft Bulletin MS11-077.
Impact
Successful exploitation could allow local attackers to gain elevated privileges or to run arbitrary code in kernel mode and take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs view, change, or delete data or create new accounts with full administrative rights.
Impact Level: System
Solution
Run Windows Update and update the listed hotfixes or download and update mentioned hotfixes in the advisory from the below link, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-077
Insight
Multiple flaws are due to,
- A privilege elevation vulnerability exists in the way that kernel-mode drivers validate data supplied from user mode to kernel mode.
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in implementations of windows when the system improperly processes a specially crafted TrueType font file.
- An remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows kernel due to improper handling of a specially crafted font (.fon) file.
- A privilege elevation vulnerability exists due to the way that Windows Kernel-mode drivers manage kernel-mode driver objects.

Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and prior
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 and prior
