Security readout for executives and security teams
This vulnerability affects Aclient in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.x before 6.8.380.0. A person who already has local access to an affected machine could gain Local System privileges. That means full control of the local endpoint. The main business concern is legacy deployment clients still present on managed workstations or servers. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments running Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.x clients older than 6.8.380.0. Internet exposure is not indicated; the described attacker position is local user access on an affected system. Prioritize if Altiris Deployment Solution 6.x remains in production. The issue is old and local-only, but successful exploitation grants full local system control. If no affected clients exist, business urgency is low. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.x Aclient.; Upgrade affected clients to version 6.8.380.0 or later where applicable.; Review Symantec’s advisory for vendor-approved remediation guidance..
