CVE-2009-3489 is an incorrect permission assignment vulnerability in the service installed by Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 and 8.0 for active file monitoring. The service security descriptor grants local non-administrative users permissions that permit service control and service-configuration modification. An attacker can change the service executable command line and start or restart the service, causing attacker-controlled commands to execute in the LocalSystem security context. The permissions also permit stopping the service, enabling a local denial of service.
