Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows client (McTray.exe) in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 prior to Patch 13 allows local users to spawn unrelated processes with elevated privileges via the system administrator granting McTray.exe elevated privileges (by default it runs with the current user's privileges).

Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) for Windows prior to 8.8 Patch 14 Hotfix 116778 allows local users to delete files the user would otherwise not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect a McAfee delete action to an unintended file. This is achieved through running a malicious script or program on the target machine.

Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) for Linux prior to 2.0.3 Hotfix 2635000 allows local users to delete files the user would otherwise not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect a McAfee delete action to an unintended file. This is achieved through running a malicious script or program on the target machine.

Maliciously misconfigured registry vulnerability in all Microsoft Windows products in McAfee consumer and corporate products allows an administrator to inject arbitrary code into a debugged McAfee process via manipulation of registry parameters.

Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows client (McTray.exe) in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 prior to Patch 14 may allow unauthorized users to interact with the On-Access Scan Messages - Threat Alert Window when the Windows Login Screen is locked.

Privilege Escalation vulnerability during daily DAT updates when using McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise (VSE) prior to 8.8 Patch 15 allows local users to cause the deletion and creation of files they would not normally have permission to through altering the target of symbolic links. This is timing dependent.

Unquoted Windows search path vulnerability in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i (patch 11) and CMA 3.5 (patch 5) might allow local users to gain privileges via a malicious "program.exe" file in the C: folder, which is run by naPrdMgr.exe when it attempts to execute EntVUtil.EXE under an unquoted "Program Files" path.

The VirusScan On-Access Scan component in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 and Scan Engine 4.4.00 allows local privileged users to bypass security restrictions and disable the On-Access Scan option by opening the program via the task bar and quickly clicking the Disable button, possibly due to an interface-related race condition.

Buffer overflow in the On-Access Scanner in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise before 8.0i Patch 12 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename containing multi-byte (Unicode) characters.

DISPUTED McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5.0.i uses insecure permissions for certain Windows Registry keys, which allows local users to bypass local password protection via the UIP value in (1) HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection or (2) HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Entreprise\CurrentVersion. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by third-party researchers, stating that the default permissions for HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE does not allow for write access and the product does not modify the inherited permissions. There might be an interaction error with another product.

The AV engine before DAT 5600 in McAfee VirusScan, Total Protection, Internet Security, SecurityShield for Microsoft ISA Server, Security for Microsoft Sharepoint, Security for Email Servers, Email Gateway, and Active Virus Defense allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via (1) an invalid Headflags field in a malformed RAR archive, (2) an invalid Packsize field in a malformed RAR archive, or (3) an invalid Filelength field in a malformed ZIP archive.

SQL injection vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows remote authenticated users to obtain product information via a crafted HTTP request parameter.

Improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows remote authenticated users to spoof update server and execute arbitrary code via a crafted input file.

Authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted authentication cookie.

Improper neutralization of CRLF sequences in HTTP headers vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information via the server HTTP response spoofing.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in attributes in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted user input.

Information exposure in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows authenticated remote attackers to obtain the existence of unauthorized files on the system via a URL parameter.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows authenticated remote attackers to execute unauthorized commands via a crafted user input.

Special element injection vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows authenticated remote attackers to read files on the webserver via a crafted user input.

Improper control of generation of code vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request parameter.

Authentication bypass by assumed-immutable data vulnerability in Intel Security VirusScan Enterprise Linux (VSEL) 2.0.3 (and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass server authentication via a crafted authentication cookie.

The McAfee VirusScan Console (mcconsol.exe) in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0 before Hotfix 1123565 (8.8.0.1546) on Windows allows local administrators to bypass intended self-protection rules and unlock the console window by closing registry handles.

The McAfee VirusScan Console (mcconsol.exe) in McAfee Active Response (MAR) before 1.1.0.161, Agent (MA) 5.x before 5.0.2 Hotfix 1110392 (5.0.2.333), Data Exchange Layer 2.x (DXL) before 2.0.1.140.1, Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe) 9.3 before Patch 6 and 9.4 before Patch 1 HF3, Device Control (MDC) 9.3 before Patch 6 and 9.4 before Patch 1 HF3, Endpoint Security (ENS) 10.x before 10.1, Host Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) 8.0 before 8.0.0.3624, and VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 before P7 (8.8.0.1528) on Windows allows local administrators to bypass intended self-protection rules and disable the antivirus engine by modifying registry keys.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of log files. By creating a junction, an attacker can abuse the product to overwrite the contents of a chosen file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of SYSTEM.
