Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Veritas APTARE 10.4 before 10.4P9 and 10.5 before 10.5P3. By default, on Windows systems, users can create directories under C:\. A low privileged user can create a directory at the configuration file locations. When the Windows system restarts, a malicious OpenSSL engine could exploit arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM. This gives the attacker administrator access on the system, allowing the attacker (by default) to access all data, access all installed applications, etc.

Se detectó un problema en Veritas APTARE versiones 10.4 anteriores a 10.4P9 y versiones 10.5 anteriores a 10.5P3. Por defecto, en los sistemas Windows, los usuarios pueden crear directorios en C:\. Un usuario poco privilegiado puede crear un directorio en las ubicaciones del archivo de configuración. Cuando se reinicia el sistema Windows, un motor OpenSSL malicioso podría explotar una ejecución de código arbitraria como SYSTEM. Esto le otorga al atacante acceso de administrador al sistema, permitiendo al atacante (por defecto) acceder a todos los datos, acceder a todas las aplicaciones instaladas, etc
