The problem is caused due to insecure default file permissions being set on the installation directory. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges by placing malicious files or replacing e.g certain DLL files in the directory. The security issue is confirmed in eScan Internet Security version 9.0.722.1, eScan Virus Control version 9.0.722.1, and eScan Anti-Virus 9.0.722.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to the affected system.
