CVE-2024-30117

Service interruption via prerequisite DLL replacement

Published Oct 14, 2024 · Updated Oct 15, 2024

DLL hijacking in HCL BigFix Platform 9.5 through 9.5.24, 10.0 through 10.0.11, and 11.0.0 through 11.0.2 allows local users to interrupt service. A component dynamically searches for a prerequisite DLL without constraining the search path, allowing a replacement library to load instead of the intended file. Exploitation requires high local privileges and difficult environmental conditions; the grounded consequence is limited to reduced availability.
