Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In November 2017 (File inclusion)

Cygnux sysPass version 2.1.7 and older is vulnerable to a Local File Inclusion in the functionality of javascript files inclusion. The attacker can read the configuration files that contain the login and password from the database, private encryption key, as well as other sensitive information.

Insecure SPANK environment variable handling exists in SchedMD Slurm before 16.05.11, 17.x before 17.02.9, and 17.11.x before 17.11.0rc2, allowing privilege escalation to root during Prolog or Epilog execution.

An untrusted search path (aka DLL Preload) vulnerability in the Cisco Network Academy Packet Tracer software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary code via DLL hijacking if a local user with administrative privileges executes the installer in the current working directory where a crafted DLL has been placed by an attacker. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of path and file names of a DLL file before it is loaded. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious DLL file and installing it in a specific system directory. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands on the underlying Microsoft Windows host with privileges equivalent to the SYSTEM account. An attacker would need valid user credentials to exploit this vulnerability.

An untrusted search path (aka DLL Preloading) vulnerability in the Cisco Immunet antimalware installer could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary code via DLL hijacking if a local user with administrative privileges executes the installer in the current working directory where a crafted DLL has been placed by an attacker. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of path and file names of a DLL file before it is loaded.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in BOOK WALKER for Windows Ver.1.2.9 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in HYPER SBI Ver. 2.2 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Installer of Flets Easy Setup Tool Ver1.2.0 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

HedEx Earlier than V200R006C00 versions has a dynamic link library (DLL) hijacking vulnerability due to calling the DDL file by accessing a relative path. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to tamper with the DLL file, leading to DLL hijacking.

VMware Workstation (12.x before 12.5.8) installer contains a DLL hijacking issue that exists due to some DLL files loaded by the application improperly. This issue may allow an attacker to load a DLL file of the attacker's choosing that could execute arbitrary code.

An installer defect known as an "unquoted Windows search path vulnerability" affected the Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.3 installers for Windows. The PC must have previously been infected by a Trojan Horse application (or user) running with administrative privilege. Any installer with the unquoted search path vulnerability becomes a delayed trigger for the exploit.
