CVE-2010-5171

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Outpost Security Suite Pro versions 6.7.3.3063.452.0726 and 7.0.3330.505.1221 BETA

Description A race condition issue allows local users to bypass kernel-mode hook handlers and execute dangerous code that would otherwise be blocked by a handler but not blocked by signature-based malware detection. This is achieved via certain user-space memory changes during hook-handler execution.

Recommendations For Outpost Security Suite Pro version 6.7.3.3063.452.0726, consider disabling the kernel-mode hook handlers as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. For Outpost Security Suite Pro version 7.0.3330.505.1221 BETA, consider disabling the kernel-mode hook handlers as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
