ISS BlackIce 3.6, as used in multiple products including BlackICE PC Protection, Server Protection, Agent for Server, and RealSecure Desktop 3.6 and 7.0, does not drop privileges before launching help from the "More Info" button in the "Application Protection" dialog, which allows local users to execute arbitrary programs as SYSTEM.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy local privilege escalation in ISS BlackIce-related products. A local user could cause the product's help-launch path to run an arbitrary program with SYSTEM privileges. The main business concern is old security software becoming a way to take full control of an already-accessed machine. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running ISS BlackIce 3.6 or RealSecure Desktop 3.6/7.0. The provided record does not identify current supported versions, CPEs, or a complete vendor-maintained affected-products list. Treat this as a legacy technology cleanup item with high impact if present. It is not remotely exploitable from the CVE description, but any affected host could let a local low-privilege user become SYSTEM. Mitigation focus: Inventory for ISS BlackIce 3.6 and RealSecure Desktop 3.6/7.0 installations.; Check vendor or historical advisory guidance for fixes, upgrades, or retirement direction.; Remove or replace unsupported legacy installations when patch status cannot be verified..
