SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can use a malicious tsp.dll/tvttsp.dll DLL in order to
execute code in PGP Desktop.
Severity: 2/4
Creation date: 01/10/2010
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The PGP Desktop program loads the tsp.dll/tvttsp.dll library when
it starts.
However, the library is loaded insecurely. An attacker can thus
use the VIGILANCE-VUL-9879 (https://vigilance.fr/tree/1/9879)
vulnerability to execute code.
An attacker can therefore use a malicious tsp.dll/tvttsp.dll DLL,
in order to execute code in the context of PGP Desktop.
