McAfee Common Management Agent < 3.6.0.603 FrameworkService.exe AVClient DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 42871

Language:

Synopsis

A security management service running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the version of the McAfee Common Management Agent (CMA) running on the remote host is prior to 3.6.0.603. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in FrameworkService.exe due to a memory corruption issue. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a long invalid method in requests to the /spin//AVClient//AVClient.csp URI, to cause the CMA Framework Service to crash.

Solution

Upgrade to McAfee Common Management Agent version 3.6.0 Patch 3 with HotFix 10 or later.
