Vulnerability from variot

Symantec AntiVirus 9 Corporate Edition allows local users to gain privileges via the "Scan for viruses" option, which launches a help window with raised privileges, a re-introduction of a vulnerability that was originally identified and addressed by CVE-2002-1540. Applications or Services that call the Windows Help function in an insecure manner may allow a user unauthorized access to resrouces on the system. Applications or Services that call the Windows Help function in an insecure manner may allow a user unauthorized access to resrouces on the system. This issue may occur in applications or services where the Help function is not called in a secure manner. An example of this is when Anti-virus software or a personal firewall is running on the local system with the privileges of an administrator on the local system, and has an interface to "communicate" with the user. ISIHARA Takanori reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.A user may gain unauthorized access to resources on the system. Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition is susceptible to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly lower the privileges of the running process when required. Due to the nature of the affected application, it executes with SYSTEM privileges. When a local user opens the HTML help browser from the affected application, it is executed with the same elevated privileges as the calling application. This vulnerability allows local attackers to access and execute arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges, facilitating the compromise of the local computer.

II. Exploitation can occur when a user chooses the right click "Scan for viruses" option. The Symantec scan file interface allows the user to launch a help window through the use of a toolbar icon. If the user then right clicks the help window title bar they can choose the "Jump to URL" menu option, which will then allow them to browse the local file system and execute files as the SYSTEM user.

This vulnerability is a re-appearance of an old bug formerly found in the Symantec 7.x series virus scan product.

    "data": "Symantec AntiVirus 9 Corporate Edition allows local users to gain privileges via the \"Scan for viruses\" option, which launches a help window with raised privileges, a re-introduction of a vulnerability that was originally identified and addressed by CVE-2002-1540. Applications or Services that call the Windows Help function in an insecure manner may allow a user unauthorized access to resrouces on the system. Applications or Services that call the Windows Help function in an insecure manner may allow a user unauthorized access to resrouces on the system. This issue may occur in applications or services where the Help function is not called in a secure manner. An example of this is when Anti-virus software or a personal firewall is running on the local system with the privileges of an administrator on the local system, and has an interface to \"communicate\" with the user. ISIHARA Takanori reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.A user may gain unauthorized access to resources on the system. Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition is susceptible to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly lower the privileges of the running process when required. \nDue to the nature of the affected application, it executes with SYSTEM privileges. When a local user opens the HTML help browser from the affected application, it is executed with the same elevated privileges as the calling application. \nThis vulnerability allows local attackers to access and execute arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges, facilitating the compromise of the local computer. \n\nMore information can be found at the following location:\n\nhttp://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=1\n55\n\nII. \nExploitation can occur when a user chooses the right click \"Scan for\nviruses\" option. The Symantec scan file interface allows the user to\nlaunch a help window through the use of a toolbar icon. If the user\nthen right clicks the help window title bar they can choose the \"Jump\nto URL\" menu option, which will then allow them to browse the local\nfile system and execute files as the SYSTEM user. \n\nThis vulnerability is a re-appearance of an old bug formerly found in\nthe Symantec 7.x series virus scan product. \n\nhttp://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/bugtraq/2002/10/msg00357.html\nhttp://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/bugtraq/2002/10/msg00379.html\n\nIII. \n\nIV. This is a re-appearance of an old bug that was\nreportedly fixed in versions 7.5.1 Build 62 and later, and version\n7.6.1 Build 35a. \n\nV. WORKAROUND\n\niDEFENSE is currently unaware of any workaround for this issue. \n\nVI. VENDOR RESPONSE\n\n\"Symantec engineers have verified this issue and corrected it in \nMaintenance Release (MR) 3 and all subsequent MRs and upgrades for\nSymantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition and Symantec Client Security.\"\n\nA vendor advisory for this issue is available at the following URL:\n\n  http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2005.08.24.html\n\n\nVII. CVE INFORMATION\n\nThe Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the\nname CAN-2005-2017 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in\nthe CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for\nsecurity problems. \n\nVIII.
