	PC-Cillin Internet Security Insecure File PermissionVulnerability


Hello everybody,

due to some internal communication problems, I was not able to reply
here earlier :-(
I really apologize for that !

Our Solution Bank record
http://kb.trendmicro.com/solutions/search/main/search/solutionDetail.asp
?solutionId=27438&id=27438
is pointing you to the related fix and its explanation.
Due to a Trend Micro internal problem, the solution was only made
available to users of a DELL preloaded version of our product (Solution
Bank ID 27428)

Thank you for raising this to my attention. I hope that this solution
now is addressing your valid (!) concern. We were really concerned about
this issue and reacted immediately, but our external communication about
the available solution somehow failed.

I really apologize for this.

* by Team W00dp3ck3r:
* frauk\x41iser, mag00n and s00n
*
* Advisory:
www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=351&type=vulnerabilities
* Tested on Windows XP Service Pack 2 english
* Version affected PC-cillin Internet Security 2006
*
* Status: currently no patch has been provided (19.12.2005)
*
* Follow the instructions to gain administrative privileges:
*
*
* 1.) Default Installation (can only be accomplished as Administrator).
* 2.) Login is as restricted user.
* 3.) Compile the c code provided at the bottom of this document.
* 4.) Right click on the Trend Micro icon in the taskbar and shut down
Trend Micro
*     (Seems that Trend has forgotten that normal users should not be
able to
*     shutdown an antivirus service).
* 5.) Fire up your favorite editor and open the previous compiled exe
(we recommend
*     UltraEdit) and also open TmPfw.exe which is located in the default
installation
*     directory of your Trend Micro installation.
* 6.) First copy the content of the TmPfw.exe into a blank document and
save it.
*     We will need it later, when we want to repair the service.
* 7.) Now replace the content of the TmPfw.exe file with the content of
the self
*     compiled executable.
*
* Note: It is really important to alter the content of the TmPfw.exe
file. If you
*       just change the filename of the created executable and then
replace the
*       file, the initial rights which are set during the installation
would be lost.
*       The TmPfw.exe file is executed with SYSTEM rights during startup
process of
*       Windows and it's under our control, because Trend Micro really
messed up with
*       the permissions.
*
* 8.) Restart the pccmain.exe and if you type net user in your command
shell you will
*     notice a user with administrative rights called root.
* 9.) Finally open the editor again and restore the content of the
TmPfw.exe. Now
*     Trend Micro works again without complaining.
*
