Description Adam Mariš 2017-06-14 07:45:51 UTC 
The BIND installer on Windows uses an unquoted service path which can enable a local user to achieve privilege escalation if the host file system permissions allow this.

This vulnerability exists in the installer delivered with BIND for Windows and not within BIND itself.  Non-Windows builds and installations are unaffected.  A manual installation of BIND where the service path is quoted when added would not be at risk.
