Summary		(es) Zillya Total Security 3.0.2367.0 contiene una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios que permite a usuarios con pocos privilegios copiar archivos a ubicaciones del sistema no autorizadas utilizando el módulo de cuarentena. Los atacantes pueden aprovechar técnicas de enlaces simbólicos para restaurar archivos en cuarentena a directorios restringidos, lo que podría permitir el acceso a nivel de sistema a través de técnicas como el secuestro de DLL (DLL hijacking).
