Weakness
NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) 3.06.1 before 3.12 sometimes uses the Low IL temp directory when executing as SYSTEM, allowing local attackers to gain privileges (if they can cause my_GetTempFileName to return 0, as shown in the references).
Affected products
- nullsoft nullsoft_scriptable_install_system
