RETIRED: Symantec pcAnywhere CIF Files Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

pcAnywhere is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because it fails to secure access to important user-permission configuration files.

A successful exploit of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to remotely access the system with administrator credentials.

pcAnywhere 12.5 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.

RETIRED: This BID is being retired because further investigation indicates that the application is not vulnerable to this issue.
