Description
SSH Tectia Management Agent 2.1.2 allows local users to gain root privileges by running a program called sshd, which is obtained from a process listing when the "Restart" action is selected from the Management server GUI, which causes the agent to locate the pathname of the user's program and restart it with root privileges.
