Synopsis

The Symantec Endpoint Protection Client installed on the remote host is affected by kernel memory disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client installed on the remote host is 12.1.x or 14.0.x prior to 14.2.3332.1000.
It is, therefore, affected by kernel memory disclosure vulnerability.
A specially crafted IRP request can cause disclosure of uninitialized memory.
