SAP Host Agent, version 7.21, allows an unprivileged user to read the shared memory or write to the shared memory by sending request to the main SAPOSCOL process and receive responses that may contain data read with user root privileges e.g. size of any directory, system hardware and OS details, leading to Missing Authorization Check vulnerability.

In SAP Host Agent (Windows) - versions 7.21, 7.22, an attacker who gains local membership to SAPLocalAdmin could be able to replace executables with a malicious file that will be started under a privileged account. Note that by default all user members of SAPLocaAdmin are denied the ability to logon locally by security policy so that this can only occur if the system has already been compromised.
