https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-7233
Avast Free Antivirus AvastSvc Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Avast Free Antivirus. 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 Avast Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a folder. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. • https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-24-1005 • CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') •
CVSS: 7.3EPSS: 0%CPEs: 2EXPL: 0CVE-2024-5102 – Elevation of Privelage via symlinked file in Avast Antivirus
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-5102
A sym-linked file accessed via the repair function in Avast Antivirus <24.2 on Windows may allow user to elevate privilege to delete arbitrary files or run processes as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The vulnerability exists within the "Repair" (settings -> troubleshooting -> repair) feature, which attempts to delete a file in the current user's AppData directory as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. A low-privileged user can make a pseudo-symlink and a junction folder and point to a file on the system. This can provide a low-privileged user an Elevation of Privilege to win a race-condition which will re-create the system files and make Windows callback to a specially-crafted file which could be used to launch a privileged shell instance. This issue affects Avast Antivirus prior to 24.2. Un archivo con enlace simbólico al que se accede a través de la función de reparación en Avast Antivirus <24.2 en Windows puede permitir al usuario elevar privilegios para eliminar archivos arbitrarios o ejecutar procesos como NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. • https://support.norton.com/sp/static/external/tools/security-advisories.html • CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') CWE-1284: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input •

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-5760
A time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) bug in handling of IOCTL (input/output control) requests. This TOCTOU bug leads to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability which can be further exploited, allowing an attacker to gain full local privilege escalation on the system.This issue affects Avast/Avg Antivirus: 23.8. Un error de tiempo de verificación a tiempo de uso (TOCTOU) en el manejo de solicitudes IOCTL (control de entrada/salida). Este error de TOCTOU conduce a una vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de los límites que puede explotarse aún más, permitiendo a un atacante obtener una escalada de privilegios local completa en el sistema. Este problema afecta a Avast/Avg Antivirus: 23.8. • https://support.norton.com/sp/static/external/tools/security-advisories.html • CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition •
