Descriptions

Race condition in Blink Professional 4.6.1 on Windows XP allows local users to bypass kernel-mode hook handlers, and execute dangerous code that would otherwise be blocked by a handler but not blocked by signature-based malware detection, via certain user-space memory changes during hook-handler execution, aka an argument-switch attack or a KHOBE attack. NOTE: this issue is disputed by some third parties because it is a flaw in a protection mechanism for situations where a crafted program has already begun to execute

** EN DISPUTA ** Condición de Carrera en Blink Professional v4.6.1 para Windows XP permite a usuarios locales eludir los manejadores de hooks a nivel de kernel, y ejecutar código peligroso que de otra manera sería bloqueada por el manejador y no por una detección basada en firma de malware. Esto se consigue a través de ciertos cambios en la memoria de espacio de usuario durante la ejecución del manejador de hooks. Se trata de un problema también conocido como un ataque argument-switch o un ataque KHOBE. NOTA: este problema es discutido por algunos, ya que es un defecto en un mecanismo de protección para situaciones en las que un programa hecho a mano ya ha comenzado a ejecutarse.
