CVE-2018-0868 [HIGH] Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Description: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows Installer when the Windows Installer fails to properly sanitize input leading to an insecure library loading behavior.
A locally authenticated attacker could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the input sanitization error to preclude unintended elevation.
Windows Installer: Windows Installer
Impact: Elevation of Privilege
Exploit Status: Publicly Disclosed:No;Exploited:No;Latest Software Release:Exploitation Less Likely;Older Software Release:Exploitation Less Likel
