Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of Symantec Workspace Virtualization 6.x prior to 6.4.1953. It is, therefore, affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to a failure to sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM level privileges.

Note that the vulnerability is only exploitable if at least one virtual application layer is activated/enabled.

Solution

Upgrade to version 6.4.1953 or later.
