Windows kernel exploit can bypass all security

Security firm Bromium Labs has discovered a way to use an old Windows kernel exploit to bypass popular anti-malware and other security software.
The method, known as Layer on Layer (LOL) attacks, allow hackers to bypass multiple layers of security in one fell swoop, without anyone being the wiser.
The technique affects application sandboxes, anti-virus software, rootkit detectors, host-based intrusion prevention systems (HIPS), Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET), and Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP), even if they are stacked upon one another. The exploit will either disable them or bypass them completely.
The attack takes advantage of the EPATHOBJ Windows kernel vulnerability, which was discovered last year and largely ignored.
Exploiting the vulnerability gives a hacker system privileges, allowing them to turn off or otherwise disrupt security. Malware can then be run freely. Worse yet, the hacker goes unnoticed.
