Descriptions

McAfee Email and Web Security (EWS) 5.x before 5.5 Patch 6 and 5.6 before Patch 3, and McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) 7.0 before Patch 1, does not disable the server-side session token upon the closing of the Management Console/Dashboard, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions by capturing a session cookie and then modifying the response to a login attempt, related to a "Logout Failure" issue.

McAfee Email and Web Security v5.x (EWS) antes de v5.5 Patch 6 y v5.6 antes de la revisión 3 y McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) v7.0 antes de la revisión 1 no desactivan el token de sesión en el lado del servidor durante el cierre de la Consola de administración/Cuadro de mandos, lo que hace que sea más fácil, para los atacantes remotos, el secuestrar sesiones mediante la captura de una cookie de sesión y luego modificar la respuesta a un intento de inicio de sesión. Se trata de un problema relacionado con un "Fallo de Salida".
