Library Loading Input Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability - CVE-2016-0100
A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows fails to properly validate input before loading certain libraries. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
