Title
GeoVision GV-IP Device Utility DLL Search Order Hijacking Vulnerability
Summary
A
DLL hijacking vulnerability exists in the GeoVision GV-IP Device Utility
desktop application. The application loads one or more dynamic-link libraries
(DLLs) from an unsafe search path, allowing a local attacker to place a
malicious DLL in a location searched before the legitimate library
location.
