Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a DLL hijacking vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of McAfee Drive Encryption prior to 7.3.0 HF2. It is, therefore, affected by a DLL search order hijacking vulnerability that allows local users to execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges via execution from a compromised folder.
