An installer search patch element vulnerability in Trend Micro Portable Security 3.0 Pro, 3.0 and 2.0 could allow a local attacker to place an arbitrarily generated DLL file in an installer folder to elevate local privileges. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors.
