Ok, boom ...But if you start XX same process at the same time, all applications will not be killed.ANALYSIS--------Exploitation of the described vulnerability allows attackers toexecute arbitrary code under the context of the user who started Process Explorer.Exploitation requires that an attacker convince a target user to view properties ofmalicious executable file with a vulnerable version of Process Explorer.VENDOR STATUS-------------Vendor have been contacted.Thanks------Greet's fly out to ATmaCA.
