The problem is a bunerability discovered in the operating system's
print spooler. Here is the info on it:
New York (CNN Business) — Microsoft is urging Windows users to
immediately install an update after security researchers found a
serious vulnerability in the operating system.
The security flaw, known as PrintNightmare, affects the Windows Print
Spooler service. Researchers at cybersecurity company Sangfor
accidentally published a how-to guide for exploiting it.
The researchers tweeted in late May that they had found
vulnerabilities in Print Spooler, which allows multiple users to
access a printer. They published a proof-of-concept online by mistake
and subsequently deleted it -- but not before it was published
elsewhere online, including developer site GitHub.
