A vulnerability has been reported in F-Secure BackWeb that may permit local attackers to gain system level privileges. The source of this vulnerability is that certain areas within the BackWeb interface permit arbitrary programs to be invoked with LOCAL SYSTEM privileges.

The F-Secure BackWeb component appears to be included in a number of other products, including various F-Secure Anti-Virus releases, F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper and F-Secure Policy Manager.
