DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Epson LP-S7100 / LP-S9000
drivers, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to insecure default permissions
("Everyone" group with "Full Control") being set on  "C:\Program
Files" and its sub-folders. This can be exploited to overwrite
arbitrary files in these folders.

The security issue is reported in the following versions:
* LP-S7100 32bit edition versions 4.1.0fi through 4.1.7fi
* LP-S7100 64bit edition versions 4.1.0hi through 4.1.7hi
* LP-S9000 32bit edition versions 4.1.0fc through 4.1.11fc
* LP-S9000 64bit edition versions 4.1.0hc through 4.1.11hc

SOLUTION:
Update to a patched version and reset permissions. Please see the
vendor's advisory for more details.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
