It makes possible to remote code execution. Details ******* Attacker can place shortcuts for SAP GUI (.sap) on his share directory. In the same directory he place DLL's with evil code. Name of DLL will be MFC80RUS.DLL(for Russian systems) or MFC80LOC.DLL for SAPGui.exe. Than attacker get link to shortcut to a victim. When victim try to open shortcuts, SAP application try to load it DLL's from working dir that is attacker share directory.
