Lenovo System Update Privilege Escalation allows local users to gain privileges by interacting with the \SUPipeServer named pipe to execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM if a valid security token is provided. The System Update service is stopped by default but can be started/stopped by calling the ConfigService.exe executable

        The named pipe, \SUPipeServer, can be accessed by normal users to interact with the
        System update service. The service provides the possibility to execute arbitrary
        commands as SYSTEM if a valid security token is provided. This token can be generated
        by calling the GetSystemInfoData function in the DLL tvsutil.dll. Please, note that the
        System Update is stopped by default but can be started/stopped calling the Executable
        ConfigService.exe.
