Descriptions

Symantec Endpoint Protection prior to 14.2 MP1 may be susceptible to a DLL Preloading vulnerability, which in this case is an issue that can occur when an application being installed unintentionally loads a DLL provided by a potential attacker. Note that this particular type of exploit only manifests at install time; no remediation is required for software that has already been installed. This issue only impacted the Trialware media for Symantec Endpoint Protection, which has since been updated.

Symantec Endpoint Protection en versiones anteriores a la 14.2 MP1 puede ser susceptible a una vulnerabilidad de precarga de DLL, que en este caso es un problema que puede producirse cuando una aplicación que se instala carga involuntariamente un DLL proporcionado por un posible atacante. Nótese que este tipo específico de explotación solo se manifiesta en el momento de la instalación; no se requiere remediación para el software que ya ha sido instalado. Este problema solo afectó a los dispositivos Trialware de Symantec Endpoint Protection, que desde entonces se ha actualizado.
