Technical Analysis
This vulnerability leverages a TOCTOU vulnerability in the “Standard Collector Service” used by Visual Studio. If an attacker can change the contents of an ETL file by winning a race condition, the file can then be written to an arbitrary location using a symlink. This can then be used to load an attacker controlled DLL into another process.
