CVE-2011-1991
HighSummary
Wiele podatności związanych z niezaufanymi ścieżkami wyszukiwania w systemach Microsoft Windows XP SP2 i SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2 i R2 SP1 oraz Windows 7 Gold i SP1 pozwala lokalnym użytkownikom na uzyskanie uprawnień poprzez złośliwą bibliotekę DLL w bieżącym katalogu roboczym. Przykłady obejmują deskpan.dll w rozszerzeniu Display Panning CPL, usługę EAPHost Authenticator, przekierowanie folderów, HyperTerminal, japoński edytor metod wprowadzania (IME) oraz konsolę zarządzania Microsoft (MMC).
Risk Assessment
Podatność ta stwarza ryzyko dla organizacji, umożliwiając lokalnym użytkownikom uruchamianie złośliwego kodu z wyższymi uprawnieniami, co może prowadzić do nieautoryzowanego dostępu do systemów i danych. W konsekwencji, może to skutkować poważnymi naruszeniami bezpieczeństwa.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację systemów operacyjnych do najnowszych wersji oraz wdrożenie polityk bezpieczeństwa ograniczających możliwość uruchamiania nieznanych lub niezaufanych bibliotek DLL. Dodatkowo, monitorowanie i audytowanie dostępu do krytycznych zasobów systemowych mogą pomóc w wykrywaniu i zapobieganiu nadużyciom.
