In a blog post, ZDI noted that the CVE-2017-8464 vulnerability is similar to the approach used by the Stuxnet malware. ZDI noted that while the new Microsoft patch touches different parts of code, the exploit vector remains the same, with remote code execution occurring if a specially crafted shortcut is displayed.
