  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     Windows Update Delivery Optimization does not properly     enforce file share permissions. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could overwrite     files that require higher privileges than what the     attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1289)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the     .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) allows file     creation in arbitrary locations. An attacker who     successfully exploited this vulnerability could write     files to folders that require higher privileges than     what the attacker already has.  (CVE-2019-1142)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the     Windows Jet Database Engine improperly handles objects     in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this     vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on a victim     system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by     enticing a victim to open a specially crafted file. The     update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way     the Windows Jet Database Engine handles objects in     memory. (CVE-2019-1240, CVE-2019-1241, CVE-2019-1242,     CVE-2019-1243, CVE-2019-1246, CVE-2019-1247,     CVE-2019-1248, CVE-2019-1249, CVE-2019-1250)
