CVE-2024-7239

VIPRE Advanced Security Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of VIPRE Advanced Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Anti Malware Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-22314.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios locales en VIPRE Advanced Security. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los atacantes locales escalar privilegios en las instalaciones afectadas de VIPRE Advanced Security. Un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con pocos privilegios en el sistema de destino para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla específica existe dentro del servicio Anti Malware. Al crear un enlace simbólico, un atacante puede abusar del servicio para eliminar un archivo. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de SYSTEM. Era ZDI-CAN-22314.
