Description
The issue arises from the Print Spooler service's failure to properly validate spooler access permissions when printer sharing is enabled. This allows remote attackers to create files in a system directory and execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted print request over RPC. The vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. It is caused by insufficient input validation, which could enable a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. If successfully exploited, an attacker could take complete control of an affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts.
