Descriptions
Buffer overflow in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 11.0.600x through 11.0.710x and Symantec Network Access Control (SNAC) 11.0.600x through 11.0.710x allows local users to gain privileges, and modify data or cause a denial of service, via a crafted script.
Desbordamiento de búfer en Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) v11.0.600x hasta v11.0.710x y Symantec Network Access Control (SNAC) v11.0.600x hasta v11.0.710x, permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios, y modificar los datos o causar una denegación de servicio, a través de un script malicioso.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec Endpoint Protection. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within SemSvc.exe which listens by default on TCP port 8443 (https). The SemSvc service exposes a servlet called 'AgentServlet" which allows remote users to activate certain tasks without prior authentication. In doing so, it is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks and arbitrary file deletion. When certain files are deleted, the eval() method will allow for executing user supplied commands. An attacker can leverage these vulnerabilities to execute code under the context of the SYSTEM.
