Security Flaw in Pre-Installed Dell Support Software Affects Million of Computers

Dell SupportAssist, formerly known as Dell System Detect, is pre-installed on millions of Dell laptops and PCs. Security researchers at SafeBreach Labs discovered that the software insecurely loads files from user-controlled folders when run, leaving a spot for malware and rogue logged-in users to corrupt existing DLLs or replace them with malicious ones. Other PC makers that bundle the same diagnostic and troubleshooting tools into their own computers with different names may also be affected by this particular security issue.
