CVE-2012-0279

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Quest Toad for Data Analysts version 3.0.1

Description The issue concerns weak permissions set for the %COMMONPROGRAMFILES%Quest Shared directory, where everyone has full control. This weakness allows local users to potentially gain privileges by placing a Trojan horse file in the directory.

Recommendations For Quest Toad for Data Analysts version 3.0.1, consider restricting the permissions of the %COMMONPROGRAMFILES%Quest Shared directory to prevent local users from gaining unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, restrict write access to this directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
