Lenovo Patches Serious Flaw In Pre-Installed Support Tool (csoonline.com)

Reader itwbennett writes: Lenovo has made available a patch for the vulnerability in its Lenovo Solution Center, a support tool which comes pre-installed on many Lenovo laptops and desktops. The vulnerability could allow attackers to execute code with system privileges and take over computers. Users should automatically be prompted to update LSC when they open the application, but in case they aren't, they should download the latest version (3.3.002) manually from Lenovo's website. This is not the first time such a vulnerability has been found and fixed in LSC. In fact, Lenovo updated an old advisory for flaws reported in December with information about the new vulnerability, making it somewhat hard to spot.
