Synopsis

The endpoint management application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager installed on the remote host is a version prior to 12.1 RU3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability in the 'secars.dll' component. By exploiting this flaw, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Solution

Upgrade to Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU3 or later.
