#Security Vulnerability
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation: By default the iSCSI Initiator client application is disabled, in this state an attacker cannot exploit this vulnerability. For a system to be vulnerable, the iSCSI Initiator client application would need to be enabled.
**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** A user needs to be tricked into running malicious files.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via ODBC, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.
