Descriptions
Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE), prior to 14.2 RU2 MP1 and prior to 14.2.5569.2100 respectively, may be susceptible to an arbitrary file write vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker is able to overwrite existing files on the resident system without proper privileges.
Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) y Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE), versiones anteriores a 14.2 RU2 MP1 y versiones anteriores a 14.2.5569.2100 respectivamente, pueden ser susceptibles a una vulnerabilidad de escritura de archivos arbitraria, que es un tipo de problema por el cual un atacante es capaz de sobrescribir archivos existentes sobre el sistema residente sin los privilegios apropiados.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to move arbitrary files on affected installations of Symantec Endpoint Protection. 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 AvHostPlugin.dll module. By invoking a method of a COM class, an attacker can move arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system. An attacker can also leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of SYSTEM.
