BIND9 Privilege Escalation
BIND installs as a service with an unquoted service path, to exploit a local attacker must place a malicious executable file named "Program.exe" in the path of the service, if the process runs under some account other than the attackers it can be used to exec code under a different set of privileges.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all services have a fully qualified path with quotes around it.
