Aberrometer and precision laser systems are affected by a remote code execution vulnerability existing when the Microsoft Windows Print Spooler service is enabled, and improperly performs privileged file operations. This could be exploited to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges, allowing for program installation; view/change/deleting data; or creation of new accounts with full user rights.
