Description:
Ian Vitek has reported a vulnerability in Dell TrueMobile WLAN Card Utility, allowing malicious, local users to escalate their privileges.
The problem is that the tray icon provides a short cut to "Help" and that the help utility is executed with SYSTEM privileges. This can be exploited to open arbitrary programs with SYSTEM privileges.
