| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix(KB890047) for 'Vulnerability in Windows Shell' has not been applied. This update resolves a newly-discovered vulnerability. A privilege elevation vulnerability exists in Windows because of the way that Windows handles drag-and-drop events. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by constructing a malicious Web page. This malicious Web page could potentially allow an attacker to save a file on the user's system if a user visited a malicious Web site or viewed a malicious e-mail message. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
