The Print Spooler service in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2, and Windows 7, when printer sharing is enabled, does not properly validate spooler access permissions, which allows remote attackers to create files in a system directory, and consequently execute arbitrary code, by sending a crafted print request over RPC, as exploited in the wild in September 2010, aka "Print Spooler Service Impersonation Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution issue in the Windows Print Spooler on older Windows versions when printer sharing is enabled. An attacker could abuse a crafted print request to place files in a system directory and run code. The source states it was exploited in the wild in September 2010. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, or Windows 7 systems still running Print Spooler with printer sharing enabled and reachable over RPC. The supplied sources do not name modern Windows versions as affected. Treat this as urgent for any remaining legacy Windows estate. The risk is highest where unsupported systems expose printer sharing internally or externally. Prioritize discovery, patch verification, service reduction, and retirement planning. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and security update MS10-061 where applicable.; Disable printer sharing where it is not required.; Restrict RPC and print-spooler exposure to trusted networks only..
