Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows, with Anti-Bot or Threat Emulation blades installed, before version E83.20, tries to load a non-existent DLL during a query for the Domain Name. An attacker with administrator privileges can leverage this to gain code execution within a Check Point Software Technologies signed binary, where under certain circumstances may cause the client to terminate.
Executing commands or loading libraries from an untrusted source or in an untrusted environment can cause an application to execute malicious commands (and payloads) on behalf of an attacker.
The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product's direct control.
