Descriptions

DLL Side-Loading vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Client in McAfee True Key before 4.20.110 allows local users to gain privilege elevation via not verifying a particular DLL file signature.

Vulnerabilidad de carga lateral de DLL en Microsoft Windows Client en McAfee True Key en versiones anteriores a la 4.20.110 permite que los usuarios locales obtengan una elevación de privilegios al no verificar la firma de un archivo DLL específico.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Intel Security True Key. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the TrueKey service, which listens on TCP port 30000 by default. A crafted message to the SecureExecute method can trigger it to launch insecure binaries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privilege to SYSTEM.
