Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-59216

Another elevation of privilege bug, this one in the Windows Graphics Component, reaches Server 2025 Server Core and the current 24H2 build of Windows 11 on both ARM64 and x64. Graphics stack bugs are frequently reachable through rendered content, so the practical risk is broader than the local only label suggests.

Do this: Roll this into the same patch cycle as the other 24H2 and Server 2025 fixes; no separate mitigation is available.
