Descriptions
The Trend Micro Security 2020 (v16) consumer family of products is vulnerable to a security race condition arbitrary file deletion vulnerability that could allow an unprivileged user to manipulate the product's secure erase feature to delete files with a higher set of privileges.
La familia de productos de consumo Trend Micro Security 2020 (versión v16), es susceptible a una vulnerabilidad de eliminación de archivos arbitraria de una condición de carrera de seguridad que podría permitir a un usuario poco privilegiado manipular la funcionalidad de borrado seguro del producto para eliminar archivos con un mayor conjunto de privilegios
This vulnerability allows local attackers to delete arbitrary files on affected installations of Trend Micro Maximum Security. 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 implementation of the Secure Erase feature. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied link prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to delete files in the context of SYSTEM.
