Descriptions

A maliciously crafted DLL file can be forced to write beyond allocated boundaries in the Autodesk installer when parsing the DLL files and could lead to a Privilege Escalation vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Autodesk On-Demand Install Services. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the AdskAccessServiceHost service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to create a folder with a permissive DACL. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
