Synopsis

The antivirus application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.8 Patch 15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilites:

- Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows client (McTray.exe) in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 prior to Patch 14 may allow local users to interact with the On-Access Scan Messages - Threat Alert Window with elevated privileges via running McAfee Tray with elevated privileges (CVE-2019-3585 ).

- Privilege Escalation vulnerability during daily DAT updates when using McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise (VSE) prior to 8.8 Patch 15 allows local users to cause the deletion and creation of files they would not normally have permission to through altering the target of symbolic links. This is timing dependent (CVE-2020-7280).
