`Comodo GeekBuddy Local Privilege Escalation (CVE-2014-7872)  
  
Jeremy Brown [jbrown3264/gmail]  
  
-Synopsis-  
  
Comodo GeekBuddy, which is bundled with Comodo Anti-Virus, Comodo Firewall  
and Comodo Internet Security, runs a passwordless, background VNC server  
and listens for incoming connections. This can allow for at least local  
privilege escalation on several platforms. It also may be remotely  
exploitable via CSRF-like attacks utilizing a modified web-based VNC client  
(eg. a Java VNC client).  
  
-Repro-  
  
1) Install GeekBuddy (either standalone or bundled with the aforementioned  
packages)  
2) Administrator (or other user) logs into the system so the VNC server  
will be started  
3) Start another login to the system (eg. target OS is Windows Server)  
4) Connect to the VNC server on localhost to assume the Admin session  
  
-Fix-  
  
Comodo says they have fix this vulnerability with the v4.18.121 release in  
October 2014
