Summary
Microsoft IME may insecurely load Dynamic Link Libraries
Details
Microsoft IME, bundled with Microsoft Windows, contains an issue in loading DLLs. When some application programs are invoked, they may initiate Microsoft IME. This IME, when initiated, checks a certain registry key for a file path to a DLL file and loads it. This registry key does not exist by default, and can be created by a normal user. If an application program is invoked with some high privilege, this mechanism can be leveraged for privilege escalation attacks. Takashi Yoshikawa of Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc. reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.
