Description The issue allows remote attackers to gain privileges via crafted input. This can lead to a transition from Low Integrity to Medium Integrity. The vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Windows OLE when it fails to properly validate user input. These vulnerabilities do not allow arbitrary code to be run on their own and would need to be used in conjunction with another vulnerability that allows remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploits the vulnerabilities could allow a user with limited privileges on an affected system to execute code at a medium integrity level.
