Some DRM systems abuse security designs. Regular applications aren't meant to be running at kernel level (ring 0) and should be running sandboxed at a user level. There are kernel dev blog posts that talk about this. It's basically like making an arm move by poking a brain with a stick. Anything that can then access that stick or the hole you created can make at brain do whatever they want.
