Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2016-3292 is fixed in 11 products on 1 platform, first by KB3185614, released September 13, 2016. It is not reported as exploited, but the vendor rates exploitation more likely. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer fails a check, allowing sandbox escape. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected system.</p> <p>This vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution; however, it could allow arbitrary code to be run if the attacker uses it in combination with another vulnerability (such as a remote code execution vulnerability or another elevation of privilege vulnerability) that is capable of leveraging the elevated privileges when code execution is attempted.</p> <p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Internet Explorer handles zone and integrity settings.</p>
