Synopsis

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) installed on the remote host is prior to 12.1 RU6 MP5. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A race condition exists in the SEP client that allows a local attacker to bypass security restrictions, resulting in the ability to download or upload files on the client system. (CVE-2015-8801)

- A server-side request forgery vulnerability exists in the authentication interface that allows an attacker to bypass access controls and scan unauthorized content on the internal network. (CVE-2016-3647)

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass lock threshold limits, resulting in the ability to recover management console passwords using brute-force methods. (CVE-2016-3648)

- An unspecified flaw exists when handling GET object requests that allows an attacker to disclose information related to valid administrator accounts. (CVE-2016-3649)

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to disclose server credentials. (CVE-2016-3650)

- An unspecified flaw exists related to PHP JSESSIONID that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-3651)

- Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the 'createModalDialogFromURL', 'createWindowFromURL', 'createWindowFromForm', and 'createIEWindowFromForm' parameters in the notificationpopup.php script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
(CVE-2016-3652)

- A cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in the sr-save.php script due to a failure to require multiple steps, explicit confirmation, or a unique token when performing certain sensitive actions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to cause a user to send schedule reports. (CVE-2016-3653)

- A flaw exists in the externalurl.php script due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to redirect a user to an arbitrary website. (CVE-2016-5304)

- An unspecified flaw exists in a PHP script that allows an attacker to conduct DOM-based link manipulation.
(CVE-2016-5305)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a failure to enable HTTP Strict Transport Security on port 8445. (CVE-2016-5306)

- A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the management console that allows an attacker to access files and directories on the web root. (CVE-2016-5307)
