Vulnerability Information

Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: N/A
Patch Published: N/A
CVE [?]: CVE-2008-2286, CVE-2008-2287, CVE-2008-2288, CVE-2008-2289, CVE-2008-2291

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a program that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of the Altiris Deployment Solution installed on the remote host reportedly is affected by several issues :

- A SQL injection vulnerability that could allow a user to run arbitrary code (CVE-2008-2286).

- A remote attacker may be able to obtain encrypted Altiris Deployment Solution domain credentials without authentication (CVE-2008-2291).

- A local user could leverage a GUI tooltip to access a privileged command prompt (CVE-2008-2289).

- A local user can modify or delete several registry keys used by the application, resulting in unauthorized access to system information or disruption of service (CVE-2008-2288).

- A local user with access to the install directory of Deployment Solution could replace application components, which might then run with administrative privileges on an affected system (CVE-2008-2287).

Solution

Upgrade to Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.176 or later and update Agents.
