Vulnerability Information
Windows Crypto Driver Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2016-7219

Vulnerability
Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability - CVE-2016-7292
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows Installer when
the Windows Installer fails to properly sanitize input leading to an insecure
library loading behavior. To exploit the vulnerability, a locally
authenticated attacker could run arbitrary code with elevated system
privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete
data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the input
sanitization error to preclude unintended elevation.
