A privilege elevation vulnerability was reported in the Lenovo Vantage SystemUpdate plugin version 2.0.0.212 and earlier that could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Solution:
The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource's state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
