What is CVE-2017-12266?

The vulnerability arises in the Cisco Meeting App for Windows due to insufficient input validation when loading Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files. This flaw permits an authenticated local attacker to exploit crafted DLL files placed in certain system directories, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary commands on the Microsoft Windows host.
