CVE-2016-3299 [MEDIUM] NetBIOS Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
NetBIOS Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Description: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when NetBIOS improperly handles responses. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use it to hijack network traffic or render untrusted content in a browser outside of Enhanced Protected Mode (EPM) or an application container.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker whose system is joined to a local network could trick a user into believing that the attacker's system is a trusted network device.
The update addresses the vulnerability by updating how NetBIOS validates responses.
FAQ: Are there any behavior changes that I should be aware of after installing this update?
Yes. This update changes the behavior of Auto Proxy Detection and NetBIO
