Register todaySetKernelObjectSecurity function (securitybaseapi.h)
The SetKernelObjectSecurity function sets the security of a kernel object. For example, this can be a process, thread, or event.
Note This function should not be used when setting a security descriptor on file system objects. Instead, use the SetSecurityInfo or SetNamedSecurityInfo functions.
BOOL SetKernelObjectSecurity(
[in] HANDLE Handle,
[in] SECURITY_INFORMATION SecurityInformation,
[in] PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR SecurityDescriptor
);
[in] Handle
A handle to a kernel object for which security information is set.
[in] SecurityInformation
A set of bit flags that indicate the type of security information to set. This parameter can be a combination of the SECURITY_INFORMATION bit flags.
[in] SecurityDescriptor
A pointer to a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure that contains the new security information.
If the function succeeds, the function returns nonzero.
If the function fails, it returns zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
