Descriptions

Squirrel.Windows is both a toolset and a library that provides installation and update functionality for Windows desktop applications. Installers generated by Squirrel.Windows 2.0.1 and earlier contain an issue with the DLL search path, which may lead to insecurely loading Dynamic Link Libraries. As a result, arbitrary code may be executed with the privilege of the user invoking the installer.

Squirrel.Windows es un conjunto de herramientas y una librería que proporciona funcionalidad de instalación y actualización para aplicaciones de escritorio de Windows. Los instaladores generados por Squirrel.Windows 2.0.1 y versiones anteriores contienen un problema con la ruta de búsqueda de DLL, lo que puede provocar que se carguen librerías de vínculos dinámicos de forma insegura. Como resultado, se puede ejecutar código arbitrario con el privilegio del usuario que invoca el instalador.
