Subject: MapsUpdateTask Task DLL side loading vulnerability

------------------------------------------------------------------------
MapsUpdateTask Task DLL side loading vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yorick Koster, November 2015

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the MapsUpdateTask Task
DLL that ships with Windows 10. This issue can be exploited by loading
COM control as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object
Windows will try to load the DLL phoneinfo.dll from the current working
directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted
(Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL
file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking
complete control of the affected system.
