A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device with SYSTEM privileges. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted interprocess communication (IPC) messages to the An圜onnect process.
This vulnerability is due to a race condition in the signature verification process for DLL files that are loaded on an affected device. A vulnerability in the DLL loading mechanism of Cisco An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack on an affected device if the VPN Posture (HostScan) Module is installed on the An圜onnect client.
