          The installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows
          prior to 4.8.02042 is vulnerable to path traversal and allows local attackers
          to create/overwrite files in arbitrary locations with system level privileges.

          The attack consists in sending a specially crafted IPC request to the TCP port
          62522 on the loopback device, which is exposed by the Cisco AnyConnect Secure
          Mobility Agent service. This service will then launch the vulnerable installer
          component (`vpndownloader`), which copies itself to an arbitrary location
          before being executed with system privileges. Since `vpndownloader` is also
          vulnerable to DLL hijacking, a specially crafted DLL (`dbghelp.dll`) is created
          at the same location `vpndownloader` will be copied to get code execution with
          system privileges.

          This exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco AnyConnect Secure
          Mobility Client versions 4.5.04029, 4.5.05030 and 4.7.04056 on Windows 10
          version 1909 (x64) and Windows 7 SP1 (x86).
