Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Windows Internet Connection Signup Wizard. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted DLL file on a remote share (e.g., WebDAV, SMB share). When the target application is loaded by the target user and the target user opens a .ins or .isp file on that remote share, the application may load the remote user's DLL instead of the intended DLL and execute arbitrary code. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
This type of exploit is also known as "binary planting" or "DLL preloading".
