What is CVE-2017-2249?

The Lhaz+ application, specifically versions 3.4.0 and earlier, is vulnerable to an untrusted search path issue. This flaw allows attackers to escalate privileges by placing a malicious DLL file in an unspecified directory. As a result, when the application attempts to execute, it could load the attacker’s DLL, potentially leading to unauthorized access or control over the affected system. Proper security mechanisms should be implemented to mitigate such risks.

Affected Version(s)

Self-extracting archive files created by Lhaz+ version 3.4.0 and earlier
