The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. (CVE-2017-11886, CVE-2017-11890, CVE-2017-11901, CVE-2017-11903, CVE-2017-11907, CVE-2017-11913)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in RPC if the server has Routing and Remote Access enabled.
