This occurs when an application fails to resolve a DLL because the DLL does not exist in the specified path or search directories. If this happens, a malicious Dll with the same name can be placed in the specified path directory leading to remote code execution.
7. SOLUTION
For application developers:
Require set paths for DLLs in applications
For system administrators:
Disable write permissions to relative application folders
Utilize least privilege access to prevent users (and applications) from having too much access to the system
For both groups:
