CVE-2016-3346 is fixed in 6 products on 1 platform, first by KB3185614, released September 13, 2016. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that Windows enforces permissions if an attacker loads a specially crafted DLL. A locally authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code as a system administrator. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would need to create and implement a malicious DLL and already be able to execute code on the target system.</p> <p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows enforces permissions.</p>
