Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in pcAnywhere, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a design error making it possible for a non-privileged, local user to gain SYSTEM privileges by manipulating the "Caller Properties" feature to run arbitrary commands when the system is restarted.
Successful exploitation requires that the program has been configured to run as a service ("Launch with Windows" setting enabled).
