CVE-2006-4315

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An unquoted Windows search path vulnerability in multiple SSH Tectia products (Client/Server/Connector 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, Client/Server before 4.4.5, and Manager 2.12 and earlier) running on Windows allows local users to place a malicious executable in "Program Files" or its subdirectories, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

Risk Assessment

Allows local users to escalate privileges to the level of the process running the vulnerable component, potentially resulting in full system compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade SSH Tectia to a version later than 5.0.1 (or 4.4.5 for Client/Server) and correct path quoting in configuration where possible. Restrict write permissions to "Program Files" for local users.
