Descriptions

Quick Heal AntiVirus Plus 2009 10.00 SP1 and Quick Heal Total Security 2009 10.00 SP1 use weak permissions (Everyone: Full Control) for the product files, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing executables with Trojan horse programs, as demonstrated by replacing quhlpsvc.exe.

Quick Heal AntiVirus Plus 2009 v10.00 SP1 y Quick Heal Total Security 2009 v10.00 SP1 emplean permisos débiles (Control Total para todos los usuarios) para los ficheros en producción, esto permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios sustituyendo ficheros ejecutables por programas que tengan algún caballo de Troya, como se ha demostrado al reemplazar el archivo quhlpsvc.exe.
