VULHUB ™

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the Flash version that ships with Windows. This issue can be exploited by loading the Shockwave Flash object as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL spframe.dll from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system.
