MS16-125: Security Update for Windows Diagnostic Hub (3193229)

high Nessus Plugin ID 94008

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Windows Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector service due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to execute arbitrary code with elevated system privileges.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 10.
