Title: DameWare Mini Remote Control Authentication Credentials Persistence Weakness
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
A problem with DameWare Mini Remote Control may allow the recovery of sensitive information.
DameWare Mini Remote Control does not safely handle authentication credential information. As a result, a local user may be able to recover authentication passwords.
The problem is in the handling of authentication passwords after authentication has been negotiated. Correct behavior of such applications is to remove passwords from memory immediately after authentication has occurred. However, DameWare Mini Remote Control retains password information in memory, which may result in recovery by another user with sufficient privileges. In addition to being present in process memory space, this information may also be retrieved from memory dumps of processes.
