Description

TrendMicro OfficeScan Corporate Edition (OSCE) contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to alter or disable anti-virus protection, due to insufficient permissions assigned the application's installation directory, files, and registry keys upon installation.

Classification

Location: Local Access Required
Attack Type: Misconfiguration
Impact: Loss of Integrity, Loss of Availability
Exploit: Exploit Available
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Technical

It is important to note a virus, worm, or trojan running under the credentials of the logged on user could also leverage these weak permissions to disable or modify the local anti-virus service as part of its payload.

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades, patches, or workarounds available to completely correct this issue. It is reported the vendor has supplied a patch to resellers, "OSCE_Hotfix_RegistryTool.zip," which modifies the registry permissions, but the file permission issues remain unaddressed by the vendor.
