Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information and by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
1) The Aclient process runs with SYSTEM privileges and allows opening and execution of arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges via the browser option.
2) An input validation error in the tftp/mftp service included in the PXE server component can be exploited to download arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 6.x SP2 (#1) and 6.8 SP2 (#2).
