CVE-2017-8464
Microsoft
Windows Server 2008
The issue is related to errors in handling .LNK files, which can allow local users or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This can occur when a crafted .LNK file is not properly handled during icon display in Windows Explorer or any other application that parses the icon of the shortcut. Exploitation of this issue may enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code by connecting to a system with a specially crafted shortcut associated with a malicious application. After viewing the storage device using any application that performs icon parsing, arbitrary code will be executed.
