Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Lenovo Rescue and Recovery, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "tvtumin.sys" kernel driver when processing overly long file names. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges by passing a specially crafted file name through the file system.
The vulnerability is reported in version 4.20.0512 for Windows Vista and 4.20.0511 for Windows XP and 2000.
