Description:
Some vulnerabilities and security issues have been reported in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges or manipulate certain data, and by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, conduct SQL injection attacks, and to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the axengine.exe service is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries via sending specially crafted packets to default port 402/TCP.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code on an affected system.
2) The problem is that the axengine.exe service allows clients to request encrypted domain credentials without authentication and that the encryption lacks a salt, which may result in the unauthorized exposure of these domain credentials.
3) An error can be exploited to access a privileged command prompt via the user interface of the Altiris Deployment Solution Agent.
4) It is possible to access a command prompt running with escalated user privileges via a common graphical user interface element (tooltip).
5) Several registry keys are created with improper permissions, which can be exploited to modify or delete these registry keys.
6) Improper permissions can potentially be exploited to replace application components within the installation directory of Deployment Solution, which run with administrative privileges on an affected system.
The vulnerabilities and security issues are reported in version 6.8.x and 6.9.x prior to build 6.9.176.
Solution:
Update to version 6.9.176 or install hotfix (KB 41418):
http://kb.altiris.com/
Note: This hotfix requires a rollout of upgraded DS Agent software.
