Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to the way Windows Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) handles symbolic links. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and overwrite a targeted file leading to an elevated status.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system.
