Synopsis

A security management agent installed on the remote host is affected by a DLL hijacking vulnerability.

Description

A DLL hijacking vulnerability in the MA Smart Installer for Windows prior to 5.7.7, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code and obtain higher privileges via careful placement of a malicious DLL into the folder from where the Smart installer is being executed.
