Description:
Three vulnerabilities were reported in Windows Print Spooler. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system. A local user can read arbitrary files on the target system.
A remote user can send a specially crafted RPC request to the print spooler to trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2009-0228]. The code will run with the privileges of the target service.
A local user can cause the print spooler to include files with a separator to view arbitrary files on the target system [CVE-2009-0229].
A remote authenticated user can supply a specially crafted DLL path to cause the print spooler to load an arbitrary dynamic link library (DLL) [CVE-2009-0230].
