Summary
The mDNSResponder.exe program, a Bonjour/Apple networking component on Windows, is affected by a DLL sideloading weakness because it does not properly define where and under what conditions it loads DLL files. This could allow an attacker to place malicious DLLs where the legitimate program would load them, causing harmful code to run under the trusted executable.
Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.
