McAfee Data Exchange Layer < 6.0.0.280 Privilege Escalation (SB10383)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 164179

Language:

Synopsis

A security management application running on the remote host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability

Description

The instance of McAfee Datat Exchange Layer Broker for Windows installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.0.280 and therefore affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. This vulnerability potentially allows local users to gain elevated privileges by exploiting weak directory controls in the logs directory. This can lead to a denial-of-service attack on the DXL Broker.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version

Solution

Upgrade to McAfee Data Exchange Layer version 6.0.0.280 or later.
