Spybot Search And Destroy 1.6.2 Privilege Escalation

`  
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2 Security Center Service Privilege Escalation  
  
  
Vendor: Safer-Networking Ltd.  
Product web page: http://www.safer-networking.org  
Affected version: 1.6.2  
  
Summary: Spybot – Search & Destroy (S&D) is a spyware and adware removal  
computer program compatible with Microsoft Windows 95 and later. It scans  
the computer hard disk and/or RAM for malicious software.  
  
Desc: The application suffers from an unquoted search path issue impacting  
the service 'SBSDWSCService' for Windows deployed as part of Spybot S&D.  
This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local  
user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system. A  
successful attempt would require the local user to be able to insert their  
code in the system root path undetected by the OS or other security applications  
where it could potentially be executed during application startup or reboot.  
If successful, the local user’s code would execute with the elevated privileges  
of the application.  
  
Tested on: Microsoft Windows Ultimate 7 SP1 (EN)
