Descriptions

Symantec Endpoint Protection prior to SEP 12.1 RU6 MP9 could be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue that allows a user to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected at lower access levels. In the circumstances of this issue, the capability of exploit is limited by the need to perform multiple file and directory writes to the local filesystem and as such, is not feasible in a standard drive-by type attack.

Symantec Endpoint Protection, en versiones anteriores a SEP 12.1 RU6 MP9, podría ser susceptible a una vulnerabilidad de escalado de privilegios. Este tipo de problema permite que un usuario obtenga accesos elevados a recursos que, normalmente, suelen estar protegidos en niveles de acceso más bajos. En las circunstancias de este problema, la capacidad de este exploit está limitada por la necesidad de realizar varias escrituras de archivos y directorios al sistema de archivos local y, por lo tanto, no es posible en un ataque estándar de tipo drive-by.
