Descriptions

Potential product security bypass vulnerability in McAfee Application and Change Control (MACC) prior to version 8.3.4 allows a locally logged in attacker to circumvent the application solidification protection provided by MACC, permitting them to run applications that would usually be prevented by MACC. This would require the attacker to rename the specified binary to match name of any configured updater and perform a specific set of steps, resulting in the renamed binary to be to run.

Una posible vulnerabilidad de omisión de la seguridad del producto en McAfee Application and Change Control (MACC) versiones anteriores a 8.3.4, permite a un atacante que haya iniciado una sesión local omitir la protección de solidificación de aplicaciones proporcionada por MACC, permitiéndole ejecutar aplicaciones que normalmente serían impedidas por MACC. Esto requeriría que el atacante renombrara el binario especificado para que coincidiera con el nombre de cualquier actualizador configurado y llevara a cabo un conjunto específico de pasos, resultando en que el binario renombrado pudiera ejecutarse
