The System Console Utility for Windows is vulnerable to a DLL planting vulnerability

NVIDIA Nsight Graphics for Windows contains a vulnerability in an ngfx component, where an attacker could cause a DLL highjacking attack. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, and denial of service.

A vulnerability in the DLL loading mechanism of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack on an affected device if the VPN Posture (HostScan) Module is installed on the AnyConnect client. This vulnerability is due to a race condition in the signature verification process for DLL files that are loaded on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted interprocess communication (IPC) messages to the AnyConnect process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device with SYSTEM privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials on the Windows system.
