Process injection is a method of executing arbitrary code in the address space of a separate live process.Īllocates virtual memory in a remote processĬode signing provides a level of authenticity on a binary from the developer and a guarantee that the binary has not been tampered with. References security related windows services Processes may automatically execute specific binaries as part of their functionality or to perform other actions. Installs hooks/patches the running process Windows processes often leverage application programming interface (API) functions to perform tasks that require reusable system resources.

Loadable Kernel Modules (or LKMs) are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into the kernel upon demand.Ĭontains ability to enumerate processes/modules/threads Modifies auto-execute functionality by setting/creating a value in the registry (Reference: 475006) Resolution: McAfee Agent “Wakeup with Full Properties” requests are now retried until successfully sent to the ePolicy Orchestrator.Adversaries may execute a binary, command, or script via a method that interacts with Windows services, such as the Service Control Manager.Īdding an entry to the "run keys" in the Registry or startup folder will cause the program referenced to be executed when a user logs in. Issue: When the McAfee Agent failed to connect to ePolicy Orchestrator or ePolicy Orchestrator rejected the connection during a McAfee Agent “Wakeup with Full Properties” request, the McAfee Agent would only send incremental properties the next time it reported its properties. (Reference: 472980) Resolution: The User Name property is now reported as the most recently logged on user. Issue: On Microsoft Vista machines, the reported User Name property was always the name of the first user to log on after the system was restarted. (Reference: 471505) Resolution: SuperAgent repositories now support up to 200 systems waiting to connect for download.

Issue: When a SuperAgent repository had more than five systems waiting to connect for download, subsequent system connections were rejected causing the associated download to fail. (Reference: 469427) Resolution: The McAfee Agent now allows update and deployment tasks to be postponed.
