Measuresoft ScadaPro Server y Client (Todas las versiones) no resuelven apropiadamente los enlaces antes de acceder a archivos; esto podría permitir una escalada de privilegios..

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Measuresoft ScadaPro Server. 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 ScadaPro Server installer. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the installer to overwrite a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
