Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU17212
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: N/A
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local low-privileged attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insecure implementation of inter-process communications within the ZoneAlarm application itself. A local attacker can hijack the insecure communications with a vulnerable .NET service that is running with SYSTEM-level privileges, inject and execute arbitrary code to bypass privilege restrictions and gain full control of the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
