Technical details

An improper access control vulnerability in TeamViewer's Patch Management update mechanism allows a local authenticated attacker to forge an IPC response and supply a signed executable that loads a malicious DLL from a user-writable temporary directory. The vulnerability requires local authentication and low privileges but no user interaction, resulting in arbitrary code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM through DLL sideloading.
