CVE-2012-5379
HighSummary
Podatność związana z niebezpieczną ścieżką wyszukiwania w instalatorze ActivePython 3.2.2.3, gdy jest zainstalowany w katalogu głównym C:\. Lokalny użytkownik może podnieść swoje uprawnienia poprzez umieszczenie złośliwej biblioteki DLL w katalogach C:\Python27 lub C:\Python27\Scripts, które mogą zostać dodane do zmiennej środowiskowej PATH przez administratora. Przykładem jest plik wlbsctrl.dll podszywający się pod systemową usługę Windows.
Risk Assessment
Ryzyko polega na możliwości przejęcia kontroli nad systemem przez lokalnego użytkownika, który może wykorzystać zaufaną ścieżkę do uruchomienia złośliwego kodu z podwyższonymi uprawnieniami, co może prowadzić do naruszenia integralności i poufności danych.
Recommendation
Zaleca się unikanie instalowania ActivePython w katalogu głównym C:\ oraz regularne przeglądanie i ograniczanie uprawnień do katalogów dodawanych do zmiennej PATH. Należy również stosować zasadę najmniejszych uprawnień dla kont użytkowników.

Original NVD description (English source)
Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installation functionality in ActivePython 3.2.2.3, when installed in the top-level C:\ directory, might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the C:\Python27 or C:\Python27\Scripts directory, which may be added to the PATH system environment variable by an administrator, as demonstrated by a Trojan horse wlbsctrl.dll file used by the "IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules" system service in Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows 8 Release Preview. NOTE: CVE disputes this issue because the unsafe PATH is established only by a separate administrative action that is not a default part of the ActivePython installation
