DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a security issue in Quest Toad for
Data Analysts, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
gain escalated privileges.

The problem is that insecure default permissions ("Everyone" group
granted "Full Control") are set on the "%CommonProgramFiles%\Quest
Shared" directory and some of its child objects. This can be
exploited to remove, manipulate, and replace application files.

The security issue is confirmed in version 3.0.1 bundled with Quest
Toad Development Suite for Oracle version 11.0R2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set proper permissions to prevent unprivileged users from creating or
manipulating files in the directory.
