Microsoft has discovered a new vulnerability in the Windows operating system's Print Spooler service. Microsoft claims that a remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations. With the use of this vulnerability in the Windows operating system, cybercriminals could run arbitrary code with System privileges. However, disabling the Print Spooler service disables the ability to print both locally and remotely. This policy will block the remote attack vector by preventing inbound remote printing operations.
