CVE-2006-1649

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In ESET NOD32 before version 2.51.26, the 'restore to' selection in the 'quarantine a file' capability allows restoring a file to any directory that the user has read access to. This enables local users to create new files in directories where they lack write permissions.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that a local user can bypass directory permission restrictions and create files in locations where they should not have write access, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update ESET NOD32 to version 2.51.26 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict local user access to the system.
