SA21088

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21088/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Lavasoft Personal Firewall 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/11075/

DESCRIPTION:
Ben Goulding has discovered a vulnerability in Lavasoft Personal
Firewall, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application windows running
with SYSTEM privileges and the application not checking if
explorer.exe is running. This can be exploited to launch explorer.exe
with SYSTEM privileges by terminating it and then using the "open
folder" option in e.g. the "Shared Components" window.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.0.543.5722 (433).
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Enable password protection.
