Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) before 10.0 has a default password for an unspecified account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain privileged access via an SSH session.

Symantec Messaging Gateway anterior a v10.0 tiene por defecto una contraseña para una cuenta no especificada, lo que hace más fácil para atacantes remotos obtener privilegios de acceso a través de una sesión SSH.
