CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/17085/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Novell ZENworks Endpoint
Security Management, which can be exploited by malicious, local users
to gain escalated privileges.

The problem is that the STEngine service attempts to locate and
execute a command shell located in a certain directory with insecure
permissions when generating a diagnostic report. This can be
exploited to e.g. execute a command shell with SYSTEM privileges by
placing "cmd.exe" in the affected directory.

The vulnerability is reported in version 3.5. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.5.0.82.
