Secunia

Maxim A. Kulakov has discovered a security issue in multiple Rising products, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the applications setting insecure default permissions on the installation directory. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges by replacing application binaries.

The security issue is confirmed in the following products and versions:
* Rising Firewall 2009 version 21.55.12
* Rising Internet Security 2009 version 21.56.32
* Rising Antivirus 2009 21.55.12

Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Remove unprivileged access from the permissions set on the installation directories.
