CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
eScan for Vista 9.x
http://secunia.com/product/13721/

DESCRIPTION:
Edi Strosar has discovered a security issue in multiple eScan
products, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The problem is caused due to insecure default file permissions being
set on the installation directory. This can be exploited to gain
escalated privileges by placing malicious files or replacing e.g
certain DLL files in the directory.

The security issue is confirmed in eScan Internet Security version
9.0.722.1, eScan Virus Control version 9.0.722.1, and eScan
Anti-Virus 9.0.722.1. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to the affected system.
