Avira Prime Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Avira Prime. 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 Avira Spotlight Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-21600.
Avira Prime Link tras una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios local. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en las instalaciones afectadas de Avira Prime. Un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con pocos privilegios en el sistema de destino para poder aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad. El fallo específico existe en el servicio Avira Spotlight. Al crear un enlace simbólico, un atacante puede abusar del servicio para eliminar un archivo. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de SYSTEM. Era ZDI-CAN-21600.
