description | The version of McAfee Agent, formerly McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) Agent, installed on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.1 HF3. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. An authenticated, local administrator can exploit this issue, via carefully constructed file in the McAfee Agent directory, to potentially disable some McAfee processes. |
