Description

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the dssvc.dll handles file creation allowing for a file overwrite or creation in a secured location. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. To exploit the vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring the dssvc.dll properly handles this type of functionality.
