Descriptions
The Windows Installer service in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 and R2 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a custom action script associated with a .msi package, aka "Windows Installer EoP Vulnerability."
El servicio Windows Installer en Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 y R2 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, y Windows RT Gold y 8.1 permite a usuarios locales escalar privilegios a través de un script de acción personalizado asociado con un paquete .msi, también conocida como “Vulnerabilidad EoP en Windows Installer.”
This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must be logged in as a user on the system in order to execute the attack.
The specific flaw exists within the behavior of some MSI installations. Some installations will launch an executable as SYSTEM during uninstallation or repair. The location of this executable is read from a registry key controllable by an unprivileged user, and because a repair operation does not require elevation, a standard user can use this functionality to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM.
