Symantec Ghost Solution Suite (GSS) versions prior to 3.3 RU1 may be susceptible to a DLL hijacking vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby a potential attacker attempts to execute unexpected code on your machine. This occurs via placement of a potentially foreign file (DLL) that the attacker then attempts to run via a linked application.
The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product’s direct control.

The problem extends to any type of critical resource that the product trusts. Some of the most common variants of untrusted search path are:
