| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix(KB873333) for 'Vulnerability in OLE and COM' has not been applied. An attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of the following two vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system:
1. Microsoft Windows COM Structured Storage Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability: This issue may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on a vulnerable computer.
2. Microsoft OLE Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability: If a vulnerable user opens a malicious file through any application that supports OLE, the attacker-supplied arbitrary code may be executed in the context of the user.
* 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.
