Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 and Server 2008 SP2 mishandle library loading, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Library Loading Input Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."
CVE-2016-0100
Score elevated to 8.7 because EPSS predicts 58% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 1.0% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 8.4 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 58%
- Public exploit code is available (Metasploit, Exploit-DB (verified), epss top5pct, epss high, public exploit)
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
