Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Windows Backup Manager. A remote user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
The application passes an insufficiently qualified path when loading an external library. A remote user can exploit this by creating a specially crafted DLL file on a remote share (e.g., WebDAV, SMB share). When a '.wbcat' file in the same directory as the DLL file is loaded by the target user, 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".
