TITLE

Cisco Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints Vulnerabilities in uncontrolled search path elements

DESCRIPTION

A vulnerability in the DLL loading component of Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints on Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to disable system scanning services or take other actions to prevent detection of unauthorized intrusions. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have administrative credentials on the Windows system. The vulnerability is due to the improper validation of resources loaded by a system process at run time. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious DLL file and placing it in a specific location on the targeted system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to disable the targeted system's scanning services and ultimately prevent the system from being protected from further intrusion. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Cisco Advanced Malware Protection is prone to a local arbitrary code execution vulnerability. A local attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with administrative system privileges. Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints for Windows is an endpoint security solution based on the Windows platform from Cisco.
