-------------
Description:
-------------

EG Free AntiVirus (v2020) installs a service (WinSEGAV AutoConfig) with
an unquoted service path. Since this service is running as SYSTEM, it
creates a local privilege escalation vulnerability. To properly exploit
this vulnerability, a local attacker must insert an executable in the
path of the service. Rebooting the system or restarting the service
will run the malicious executable with elevated privileges.
