CVE-2019-5921

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Windows 7

Description The issue is related to an untrusted search path vulnerability, which allows an attacker to gain privileges. This can be achieved via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory. The vulnerability is also described as being related to incorrect path search handling, potentially allowing a remote attacker to elevate privileges and execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted file.

Recommendations For Windows 7, consider restricting access to unspecified directories where a Trojan horse DLL could be placed, as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
