HIGH Integrity impact
HIGH Availability impact
HIGH Summary
Roxio Creator LJB starts another program with an unquoted file path. Since a registered Windows service path contains spaces and are unquoted, if a malicious executable is placed on a certain path, the executable may be executed with the privilege of the Windows service. The affected product and versions are as follows: Roxio Creator LJB version number 12.2 build number 106B62B, version number 12.2 build number 106B63A, version number 12.2 build number 106B69A, version number 12.2 build number 106B71A, and version number 12.2 build number 106B74A)

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths This attack loads a malicious resource into a program's standard path used to bootstrap and/or provide contextual information for a program like a path variable or classpath. J2EE applications and other component based applications that are built from multiple binaries can have very long list of dependencies to execute. If one of these libraries and/or references is controllable by the attacker then application controls can be circumvented by the attacker. A standard UNIX path looks similar to this If the attacker modifies the path variable to point to a locale that includes malicious resources then the user unwittingly can execute commands on the attackers' behalf: This is a form of usurping control of the program and the attack can be done on the classpath, database resources, or any other resources built from compound parts. At runtime detection and blocking of this attack is nearly impossible, because the configuration allows execution.
