Microsoft Windows "desktop.ini" Arbitrary File Execution Vulnerability | |
|
||
| Time: 10:33 EST/15:33 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Roozbeh Afrasiabi has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The problem is that "desktop.ini" files may contain CLSID references to arbitrary executables in the "[.ShellClassInfo]" section. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary files with another user's privileges when the user browses a folder containing a malicious "desktop.ini" file. | ||
