By adding files to an existing installation's directory, a local attacker could hijack accounts of other users running Erlang programs or possibly coerce a service running with \"erlsrv.exe\" to execute arbitrary code as Local System. This can occur only under specific conditions on Windows with unsafe filesystem permissions." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "Incorrect Access Control" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-23.2.3", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-23.2.3" }, { "url": "https://deepsurface.com/deepsurface-security-advisory-local-privilege-escalation-in-erlang-on-windows-cve-2021-29221/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://deepsurface.com/deepsurface-security-advisory-local-privilege-escalation-in-erlang-on-windows-cve-2021-29221/" } ] } }
