Descriptions

McAfee Web Gateway 7.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the access configuration for the CONNECT method by providing an arbitrary allowed hostname in the Host HTTP header. NOTE: this issue might not be reproducible, because the researcher did not provide configuration details for the vulnerable system, and the observed behavior might be consistent with a configuration that was (perhaps inadvertently) designed to allow access based on Host HTTP headers

** CONTROVERTIDO ** McAfee Web Gateway v7.0 permite a atacantes remotos evitar la configuración de acceso para el método CONNECT, proporcionando un nombre de host arbitraria en la cabecera 'Host HTTP'. NOTA: este problema no puede ser reproducible, porque el investigador no proporcionó detalles de la configuración para el sistema vulnerable, y el comportamiento observado podría ser compatible con una configuración que fue (tal vez sin darse cuenta) diseñada para permitir el acceso basado en cabeceras 'Host HTTP'.
