Description

 NOD32 contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered due to the NOD32 GUI (nod32.exe) running with SYSTEM privileges when a scheduled on-demand scan is run by the scheduler. This can be exploited to invoke cmd.exe with SYSTEM privileges when a scheduled scan is running. This flaw may lead to a loss of integrity.
