Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information or gain escalated privileges.
1) Design errors in the Client GUI allows bypassing client security settings and can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges by activating hidden controls via windows messaging.
2) Altiris Deployment Solution agent stores the Application Identity Account password in memory in clear text. This can be exploited by unprivileged users with access to the Deployment Solution Server system to gain knowledge of the password and e.g. deploy arbitrary programs on client systems.
