NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service Arbitrary Run Key Creation

The 3D Vision service nvSCPAPISvr.exe installed as part of typical driver installations runs at Local System and has an insecure named pipe server. One of the commands in the server can be used to set an Explorer Run key for the system which would allow a user to get code executing in the session of any other user who logs on to the same machine leading to elevation of privilege. In Windows Domain environments it would also be possible to exploit the vulnerability between machines if the attacker has access to a valid user account on one domain joined machine.
