Vulnerability Published: 2016-02-09
Patch Published: 2016-02-09
CVE [?]: CVE-2016-0051
CPE [?]: cpe:/o:microsoft:windows
Exploited by Malware: True
Synopsis
The remote host is affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability.
Description
The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the Microsoft Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) client due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 2012, 8.1, RT 8.1, 2012 R2, and 10.
