Description

Brian Gallagher has reported a security issue in Altiris Deployment Solution, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise certain systems.

The problem is that the Altiris Deployment Solution client agents don't verify the authenticity of the Altiris Deployment Solution server system. This can be exploited by malicious people to install and execute arbitrary code on client systems by running a rogue Altiris Deployment Solution server system on the local network.

The security issue has been reported in versions 5.x and 6.1sp1 and prior.

Solution
This will be fixed in the upcoming version 6.5.
