Synopsis

The Portrait Displays SDK Service (PdiService) running on the remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The Portrait Displays SDK Service (PdiService) running on the remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to insecurely configured permissions. The service is writable to all authenticated users on the system while running with AUTHORITY/SYSTEM privileges. A local attacker can exploit this to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

Solution

Apply the vendor-supplied patch. Alternatively, use the following command to remove read/write permissions from 'Authenticated Users' :

sc sdset pdiservice D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY) (A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU) (A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)
