The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Client running on the remote host is either 11.x or 12.x prior to 12.1 RU4 MP1b. It is, therefore, affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability.

A flaw exists in the sysplant driver due to insufficient validation of external input. An attacker, using specially crafted IOCTL code, could cause a kernel pool overflow resulting in elevated privileges to SYSTEM.
