Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution. A remote user can modify the configuration and execute arbitrary commands on the target system. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions. A local user can obtain elevated privileges on the target system.
A remote user can bypass authentication and supply commands to the DBManager to modify the Altiris Database. The remote user can add or remove users and access or modify currently scheduled tasks, affecting managed clients.
A local user can modify the Aclient GUI software to include arbitrary code. When the target user subsequently runs the GUI, the arbitrary code will be executed with the privileges of the target user.
A remote user can bypass authentication between the AClient agent and the deployment server (just prior to the authentication handshake) to execute arbitrary commands on the target agent system. The commands will run with System privileges.
A remote user can exploit a race condition to download files to the target client system. Affected client systems will fail to receive certain updates.
Luke Jennings of MWRInfosecurity reported these vulnerabilities.
