The software performs an operation at a privilege level that is
					higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or
					amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.New weaknesses can be exposed because running with extra privileges, such
						as root or Administrator, can disable the normal security checks being
						performed by the operating system or surrounding environment. Other
						pre-existing weaknesses can turn into security vulnerabilities if they occur
						while operating at raised privileges.Privilege management functions can behave in some less-than-obvious ways,
						and they have different quirks on different platforms. These inconsistencies
						are particularly pronounced if you are transitioning from one non-root user
						to another. Signal handlers and spawned processes run at the privilege of
						the owning process, so if a process is running as root when a signal fires
						or a sub-process is executed, the signal handler or sub-process will operate
						with root privileges.
