**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.
**Why are there two different impacts in the Security Updates table?** An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges from a client-side application sandbox in earlier Microsoft operating systems. However, mitigation technologies in later Microsoft operating systems make this more difficult. For this reason, this vulnerability has two different impact ratings.
