eliminates a security vulnerability which can allow a malicious user to gain additional privileges on a computer by logging onto it at the keyboard.
This is a privilege elevation vulnerability. A user who could log on interactively to a Windows machine, could exploit this vulnerability to take unauthorized actions on that machine.
The machines primarily affected by this vulnerability would be Windows workstations. When normal security precautions are followed, security-critical servers such as print and file servers, domain controllers, ERP servers, and others do not allow normal users to interactively log onto them. Windows Terminal Servers are not affected by this vulnerability.
The vulnerability results because Windows does not properly constrain applications to the appropriate desktop. An application created by an unprivileged user could access the desktop of another, more privileged user, and take actions there that could not normally be taken.
