Multiple DLL side loading vulnerabilities were found in various COM components. These issues can be exploited by loading various these components as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating a vulnerable object Windows will try to load one or more DLLs from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the victim 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.

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the MapsUpdateTask Task DLL that ships with Windows 10. This issue can be exploited by loading COM control as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL phoneinfo.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.

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the BDA MPEG2 Transport Information Filter that ships with Windows Vista. This issue can be exploited by loading the filter as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL ehTrace.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.

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the NPS Datastore server DLL that ships with Windows Vista. This issue can be exploited by loading the affected DLL as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL iasdatastore2.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.
