An exploitable privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Shimo VPN 4.1.5.1 helper service in the writeConfig functionality. A non-root user is able to write a file anywhere on the system. A user with local access can use this vulnerability to raise their privileges to root. An attacker would need local access to the machine to exploit it successfully.
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when shimovpn ships something exploited.
