Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Cisco VPN Client, which could be exploited by malicious users to obtain elevated privileges.
The first issue is caused by an error when using a VPN profile that is configured to utilize MS dial-up networking to launch a dial-up networking dialog box, which could be exploited by local attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges by enabling the Start Before Logon (SBL) feature and configuring a VPN profile.
The second vulnerability is caused due to insecure default file permissions being set on the "cvpnd.exe" file, which could be exploited by attackers to replace the affected file with a malicious binary and gain SYSTEM privileges.
