CVE-2018-18364: Symantec Ghost Solution Suite (GSS) versions prior to 3.3 RU1 may be susceptible to a DLL hijacking vulnera...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Symantec Ghost Solution Suite before 3.3 RU1 may load an unexpected DLL, allowing attacker-controlled code to run on a machine. The public bundle does not provide a CVSS score or active exploitation evidence, so urgency depends on whether affected GSS versions are deployed and accessible. Exposure is limited to environments running Symantec Ghost Solution Suite before 3.3 RU1. Risk is higher where users or attackers can write files into directories searched by the affected application, but the source bundle does not define exact vulnerable paths or privilege requirements. Treat this as a targeted remediation item, not an emergency based on the provided evidence. Confirm whether legacy GSS exists in the environment, then upgrade or apply vendor guidance because DLL hijacking can become code execution on administrative tooling. Mitigation focus: Inventory Symantec Ghost Solution Suite installations and identify versions before 3.3 RU1.; Prioritize upgrade or remediation using Symantec advisory SYMSA1474 guidance.; Restrict write access to application directories and other trusted DLL loading locations..
