This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Trend Micro Internet Security. 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 NCIE Scanner module. The module exposes a dangerous function to unprivileged users. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
