Vivado™ Lab Solutions Vulnerability
Summary
The reported vulnerability could allow lower-level users to achieve escalated user privileges potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution after installing Vivado™ Lab Solutions on local Windows machines. This is due to incorrect directory permissions of the install path as the binary C:\C:\Xilinx\Vivado_Lab\2024.1\bin\unwrapped\win64.o\xcd.exe can be modified by all users in the Authenticated Users group.
AMD believes this is a valid vulnerability and has provided a mitigation.
