Symantec Messaging Gateway 10.x < 10.6.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities (SYM16-015) (SYM16-016)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 93653

Language:

Synopsis

A messaging security application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) running on the remote host is 10.x prior to 10.6.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
 (CVE-2016-5309)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the decomposer engine due to memory corruption issue that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
 (CVE-2016-5310)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the charting component in the control center due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input submitted for charting requests. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a directory traversal attack, to disclose arbitrary files or directory contents.
 (CVE-2016-5312)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) version 10.6.2 or later.
