Local Privilege Escalation via Untrusted Deserialization in Lenovo System Update

A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability was discovered in Lenovo System Update that could allow a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges.

Improper Permissions Allowing Local Authenticated Users to Execute Code with Elevated Privileges in Lenovo System Update

An improper permissions vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update that could allow a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges.

Local Privilege Escalation via Authentication Bypass in Lenovo System Update

A potential authentication bypass vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update that could allow a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

A vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update that could allow a local user with interactive system access the ability to execute code with elevated privileges only during the installation of a System Update package released before 2022-02-25 that displays a command prompt window.

Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.07.0013 allows local users to submit commands to the System Update service (SUService.exe) and gain privileges by launching signed Lenovo executables.

Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.06.0034 uses predictable security tokens, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a valid token with a command to the System Update service (SUService.exe) through an unspecified named pipe.

Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.06.0034 does not properly validate CA chains during signature validation, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via a crafted certificate.

Race condition in Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.06.0034 uses world-writable permissions for the update files directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by writing to an update file after the signature is validated.

A directory permissions management vulnerability in Lenovo System Update may allow elevation of privileges.

An uncontrolled search path vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update that could allow an attacker with local access to execute code with elevated privileges.

A denial of service vulnerability was reported in Lenovo Vantage HardwareScan Plugin version 1.3.0.5 and earlier that could allow a local attacker to delete contents of an arbitrary directory under certain conditions.

A privilege elevation vulnerability was reported in the Lenovo Vantage SystemUpdate plugin version 2.0.0.212 and earlier that could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

A Time of Check Time of Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability was reported in the Lenovo Vantage SystemUpdate Plugin version 2.0.0.212 and earlier that could allow a local attacker to delete arbitrary files.

A race condition vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update prior to version 5.07.0106 that could allow escalation of privilege.

System Update Vulnerability

A denial of service vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update versions prior to 5.07.0088 that could allow configuration files to be written to non-standard locations.

A denial of service vulnerability was reported in Lenovo System Update before version 5.07.0084 that could allow service log files to be written to non-standard locations.

MapDrv (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\mapdrv.exe) In Lenovo System Update versions earlier than 5.07.0072 contains a local vulnerability where an attacker entering very large user ID or password can overrun the program's buffer, causing undefined behaviors, such as execution of arbitrary code. No additional privilege is granted to the attacker beyond what is already possessed to run MapDrv.

MITRE is populating this ID because it was assigned prior to Lenovo becoming a CNA. A vulnerability was reported (fixed and publicly disclosed in 2015) in Lenovo System Update version 5.07.0008 and prior that could allow the signature check of an update to be bypassed.

MITRE is populating this ID because it was assigned prior to Lenovo becoming a CNA. A race condition was reported (fixed and publicly disclosed in 2015) in Lenovo System Update version 5.07.0008 and prior that could allow a user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

MITRE is populating this ID because it was assigned prior to Lenovo becoming a CNA. A local privilege escalation vulnerability was reported (fixed and publicly disclosed in 2015) in Lenovo System Update version 5.07.0008 and prior where the SUService.exe /type COMMAND type could allow a user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
