Descriptions

The file-management scripts in the management GUI in Symantec Web Gateway 5.0.x before 5.0.3 allow remote attackers to upload arbitrary code to a designated pathname, and possibly execute this code, via unspecified vectors.

Los programas de gestión de ficheros en el GUI en Symantec Web Gateway v5.0.x anteriores a v5.0.3 permite a atacantes remotos subir código a un path concreto, y posiblemente ejecutar este código, a través de vectores no determinados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec Web Gateway. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists because Symantec Web Gateway allows unauthenticated users to upload a file while preserving the file extension. This allows users to upload additional script files that can be used to execute remote code from user supplied commands under the context of the webserver.
