Altiris AClient < 6.9.164 Multiple Local Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 31417
Synopsis
The remote Windows host has a program that is affected by multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities.Description
The version of the Altiris Client Agent (aclient) installed on the remote host reportedly is susceptible to a shatter attack that could allow a local user to elevate his or her privileges on the affected system.In addition, the Altiris Deployment Solution reportedly stores the AClient password in system memory. By dumping system memory for AClient.exe, a local user could potentially recover the password and use that to gain access to the local agent admin interface, which in turn could allow for code execution with system level privileges.
Solution
Upgrade to Altiris Deployment Solution Agent 6.9.164 or later.See Also
