Looks like a problem to me, especially since it's not patched. Microsoft has been notified and says they're investigating. I expect more to emerge on this in coming days.

Windows updated this morning. Maybe that’s the fix.

I glanced at the article and I didn’t see a solution to the vulnerability. It is easy to fix. Since, this occurs on NTFS volumes, change the security associated with the command prompt, cmd.exe, to only allow administrators to execute. I believe you can explicitly exclude access by non administrator account. This should be done to other utilities as well. Additionally, do not do every day work on an account administrator account. Sign on as Administrator when you do admin work, then sign off.

This is why I won’t touch Win10; it is a virus.
Win7 is their last strong, user-friendly platform, so that’s what I’m running — including ‘downgrading’ a Win10 computer to Win7.

SO what is the one-line command and how do I know if my computer is in jeopardy?

Don't know if it's related to this, but a couple of weeks ago my wife was having some problems with her laptop (Windows 8.1) so I tried to run System Restore back to a point a couple of months ago.
A message came up ... System restore failed while scanning file system on drive C. Drive might be corrupt. Try System Restore after chkdsk /R on this disk. Unspecified error occurred (0x81000204).
I wasn't sure how to do that chkdsk thing, so right now she is just borrowing my laptop. Any ideas for how I might help get her rolling again?

“Microsoft has a customer commitment to investigate reported security issues and we will provide updates for impacted devices as soon as possible,” a Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer. Oh. That's reassuring.
Can this bug be exploited to provide admin access to hackers?
Will the bug be fixed, or will Microsoft just tell people to run chkdsk /f ?
I would try chkdsk /f before going to chkdsk /r.
