Descriptions

The Disk Mount scanner in Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh 9.x and 10.x, Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh 10.0 and 10.1, and Norton Internet Security for Macintosh 3.x, uses a directory with weak permissions (group writable), which allows local admin users to gain root privileges by replacing unspecified files, which are executed when a user with physical access inserts a disk and the "Show Progress During Mount Scans" option is enabled.

El escáner Disk Mount en Symantec AntiVirus para Macintosh versiones 9.x y 10.x, Norton AntiVirus para Macintosh versiones 10.0 y 10.1 y Norton Internet Security para Macintosh versiones 3.x , usa un directorio con permisos débiles (grupo grabable), que permite a usuarios administradores locales alcanzar privilegios de root mediante la sustitución de archivos no especificados, que se ejecutan cuando un usuario con acceso físico inserta un disco y la opción "Show Progress During Mount Scans" está habilitada.
