arbitrary binaries with Local System Privileges
Release Date: 16 August 2007

Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability in iTunes for Windows

for 32-bit installations and in "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\
{0DD0EEEE-2A7C-411C-9243-1AE62F445FC3}\x64" for 64-bit installations. The
installer installs in this directory DifXInstall32.exe or DifXInstall64.exe for
32-bit or 64-bit installations, respectively, along with DIFxAPI.dll and other
files. After the installer writes these files to the directory, it will execute
DifXInstall32.exe or DifXInstall64.exe in the context of Local System, a
privileged user.

On a standard Windows installation, unprivileged users have write-access to
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data". As such, prior to a first-time iTunes
installation, an unprivileged attacker can create these directories and place a

Insomnia : ISVA-081020.1 - Altiris Deployment Server Agent - Privilege Escalation

Altiris packages to allow the Deployment Server to manage software
for machines. It is usually installed to 
C:\Program Files\Altiris\AClient and the main running agent 
is called AClient.exe. 

By default the agent runs under the Local System account and is
vulnerable to numerous Shatter Attack vulnerabilities leading
to an attacker running code under the Local System privilege.

We reported a first instance of this vulnerability which was
then patched, we then alerted Symantec to the second vulnerability.

Cisco Security Advisory: Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities in Cisco VPN Client

Summary
=======

Two vulnerabilities exist in the Cisco VPN Client for Microsoft Windows
that may allow unprivileged users to elevate their privileges to those of
the LocalSystem account.

A workaround exists for one of the two vulnerabilities disclosed in this
advisory.

Cisco has made free software available to address these vulnerabilities

Vulnerability overview:
-----------------------

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in SonicWALL Global
VPN client. By exploiting this vulnerability, a local attacker could
execute code with LocalSystem privileges.


Vulnerability description:
--------------------------


Multiple MicroWorld products insecure directory permissions

     %programfiles%\x-spam\spooler.exe


All mentioned binaries are running under NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account. 
Replacing any of those programs with appropriate (i.e. cmd.exe) will 
spawn process with Local System privileges on next reboot. Because 
setup/installation procedure sets insecure default permissions 
(Everyone:Full Control) on eScan/MailScan/X-Spam installation directory 
any LUA user can perform this task. NOTE: some binaries won't spawn 
visible windows.


ZDI-11-351 : WellinTech KingView HistoryServer.exe Opcode 3 Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

service allocates memory from the heap based on the 10th and 11th bytes
of the packet (element count). Packet data is then copied into the
allocated buffer based on the first two bytes of the packet (packet
size). These values can be manipulated to create a heap overflow and and
attacker can exploit this to remotely execute arbitrary code in the
context of the service (Local System).

Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities in Lotus Notes Client

Local Privilege Escalation Through Default ntmulti.exe File Permissions

Unprivileged users can execute arbitrary programs that run with the privileges of the LocalSystem account by replacing the Multi-user Cleanup Service executable with arbitrary executables. This vulnerability exists because the default file permissions assigned during installation to ntmulti.exe (the executable for the Multi-user Cleanup Service) allow unprivileged, interactive
users to replace ntmulti.exe with any file.

Because the Multi-user Cleanup Service is a Windows service running with LocalSystem privileges, unprivileged users can easily elevate their privileges.

NGS00051 Technical Advisory: Cisco VPN Client Privilege Escalation

The 64 Bit Cisco VPN Client for Windows 7 is affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows non-privileged users to gain administrative privileges.

=================
Technical Details
=================
Unprivileged users can execute arbitrary programs that run with the privileges of the LocalSystem account by replacing the Cisco VPN Service executable with arbitrary executables. This vulnerability exists because the default file permissions assigned during installation to cvpnd.exe (the executable for the Cisco VPN Service) allow unprivileged, interactive users to replace cvpnd.exe with any file.

Because the Cisco VPN Service is a Windows service running with LocalSystem privileges, unprivileged users can easily elevate their privileges.

It is possible to work around this vulnerability without a software upgrade.

CVE-2009-4511: TANDBERG VCS Arbitrary File Retrieval

During testing, it was found that the x4.2.1 firmware runs the web server as the
"nobody" user, which somewhat limits the amount of sensitive information that
may be obtained.  However, since shadowed passwords were not configured, it was
possible to retrieve all local system users' password hashes from /etc/passwd. 
Additional password hashes are available in /tandberg/persistent/etc/digest.


Versions Affected
- -----------------

[SECURITY] [DSA 1531-2] New policyd-weight packages fix insecure temporary files

Updated packages have been released that fully address the vulnerability.
For reference the original advisory follows.

Chris Howells discovered that policyd-weight, a policy daemon for the Postfix
mail transport agent, created its socket in an insecure way, which may be
exploited to overwrite or remove arbitary files from the local system.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
0.1.14-beta-6etch2.

The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain a policyd-weight package.
