Descriptions
Norton Utilities (prior to 16.0.3.44) may be susceptible to a DLL Preloading vulnerability, which is a type of issue that can occur when an application looks to call a DLL for execution and an attacker provides a malicious DLL to use instead. Depending on how the application is configured, it will generally follow a specific search path to locate the DLL. The vulnerability can be exploited by a simple file write (or potentially an over-write) which results in a foreign DLL running under the context of the application.
Norton Utilities (en versiones anteriores a la 16.0.3.44) puede ser susceptible a una vulnerabilidad de precarga de DLL, que es un tipo de problema que puede ocurrir cuando una aplicación busca llamar a un DLL para su ejecución y un atacante proporciona un DLL malicioso para usarlo en su lugar. Dependiendo de cómo esté configurada la aplicación, ésta por lo general seguirá una ruta de búsqueda específica para localizar el DLL. La vulnerabilidad puede ser explotada mediante una escritura simple de archivo (o, potencialmente, una sobrescritura), lo que resulta en un DLL externo que se ejecuta bajo el contexto de la aplicación.
