Vulnerability Details
This update resolves two vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Security 2017 (Version 11) products:
- Input to the product from an untrusted source could convert its value to a pointer and then dereferences the resulting pointer, which can have an impact on the product's integrity or avaliability.
- An attacker could gain access to otherwise unauthorized resources (privilege escalation) by exploiting a vulnerabiity in the product related to a discrepency between the time in which a resource is checked versus actually used.
