Description:
Reed Arvin has reported a security issue in ePolicy Orchestrator, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to insecure file permissions on the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network Associates\Common Framework\Db" directory, which is used as the web root for the Agent web server running with SYSTEM privilege. This can be exploited to access arbitrary files by creating a subdirectory under the "Db" directory and linking it to a directory containing files that the user wants access to.

The following products are affected:
* ePolicy Orchestrator 3.0 SP2
* ePolicy Orchestrator 3.5
* ProtectionPilot 1.1
