Advisory Content (Page 2 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Solution:
Set secure permissions on the directory or install in the "Program Files" folder (according to the vendor, this should not have an impact on the functionality of the application).

NOTE: The vendor has attempted to prevent exploitation in later versions by checking for the presence of RASAPI32.DLL in the mentioned folder. However, this only fixes exploitation using this specific filename and not the problem itself.
