Vulnerability Details
This update resolves some vulnerabilities in Trend Micro SafeSync for Enterprise in which a remote attacker could potentially attain code execution, elevated privileges, or directory traversal abilities.
Mitigating Factors
Remote code execution generally requires that an attack has access (physical or remote) to a vulnerable machine. In addition to timely application of patches and updated solutions, customers are also advised to review access to critical systems and ensure policies and perimeter security is up-to-date.
However, even though an exploit may require several specific conditions to be met, Trend Micro strongly encourages customers to update to the latest builds as soon as possible.
