NOD32 local privilege escalation vulnerability



NOD32 local privilege escalation vulnerability

Not affected: > Version 2.51.26
Tested on: Winxp sp2
Risk: Average

To escalate the system privilage, the option 'quarentine a file' in NOD32 can 
be exploited & a malicious file can be copied to the quarentine and using the 
'restore to...' option it can be  dropped to the directory in which the STSTEM 
user just had read-only permession.

Note: from lower privilege, this trick can write a file to any directory in 
which the user has read-only access to but can't overwrite a file if the 
file-name already exists.
