Symantec : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Gain Privilege)

Sygate personal firewall 5.0 could allow remote attackers to bypass firewall filters via spoofed (1) source IP address of 127.0.0.1 or (2) network address of 127.0.0.0.

Symantec LiveState 7.1 Agent for Windows allows local users to gain privileges by stopping the shstart.exe process and open "Web Self-Service" from the system tray icon, which will open a browser window running with elevated privileges. NOTE: several third-party researchers have noted that administrator privileges may be necessary to terminate shstart.exe. If this is the case, then no privilege escalation occurs, and this is not a vulnerability

Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 before 1.1 patch 2, 2.0.0, and 2.0.1 does not authenticate connections between the console and the Ghost Management Agent, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unspecified RPC requests in conjunction with ARP spoofing.

The management console in the Volume Manager Scheduler Service (aka VxSchedService.exe) in Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows (SFW) 5.0, 5.0 RP1a, and 5.1 accepts NULL NTLMSSP authentication, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests to the service socket that create "snapshots schedules" registry values specifying future command execution. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-2279.

Symantec AppStream 5.2.x and Symantec Workspace Streaming (SWS) 6.1.x before 6.1 SP4 do not properly perform authentication, which allows remote Workspace Streaming servers and man-in-the-middle attackers to download arbitrary executable files onto a client system, and execute these files, via unspecified vectors.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Backup Exec remote-agent logon process in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers 11.0 (aka 11d) builds 6235 and 7170, 12.0 build 1364, and 12.5 build 2213 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication, and read or delete files, via unknown vectors.

Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x before 6.9 SP3 Build 430 does not properly restrict access to the listening port for the DBManager service, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and modify tasks or the Altiris Database via a connection to this service.

Intel Alert Management System (aka AMS or AMS2), as used in Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition (SAVCE) 10.x before 10.1 MR10, Symantec System Center (SSC) 10.x, and Symantec Quarantine Server 3.5 and 3.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted messages over TCP, as discovered by Junaid Bohio, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0110 and CVE-2010-0111. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The host-services component in Symantec pcAnywhere 12.5.x through 12.5.3, and IT Management Suite pcAnywhere Solution 7.0 (aka 12.5.x) and 7.1 (aka 12.6.x), does not properly filter login and authentication data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted session on TCP port 5631.

Session fixation vulnerability in Brightmail Control Center in Symantec Message Filter 6.3 allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via unspecified vectors.

The Management Console in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 11.x before 11.0.7.4 and 12.x before 12.1.2 RU2 and Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 12.x before 12.1.2 RU2 does not properly perform authentication, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a limited-admin account.

The management console in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) 12.1 before 12.1-RU6-MP1 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted password-reset action that triggers a new administrative session.

Race condition in the client in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1 before RU6 MP5 allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on USB file transfer by conducting filesystem operations before the SEP device manager recognizes a new USB device.

A Privilege Escalation vulnerability exists in Symantec Norton Antivirus, Norton AntiVirus with Backup, Norton Security, Norton Security with Backup, Norton Internet Security, Norton 360, Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition Cloud, and Endpoint Protection Cloud Client due to a DLL-preloading without path restrictions, which could let a local malicious user obtain system privileges.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists when loading DLLs during boot up and reboot in Symantec IT Management Suite 8.0 prior to 8.0 HF4 and Suite 7.6 prior to 7.6 HF7, Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 3.1 prior to 3.1 MP4, Symantec Endpoint Virtualization 7.x prior to 7.6 HF7, and Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.x prior to 10.4.1, which could let a local malicious user execute arbitrary code.

Symantec ProxyClient 3.4 for Windows is susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious local Windows user can, under certain circumstances, exploit this vulnerability to escalate their privileges on the system and execute arbitrary code with LocalSystem privileges.

Symantec Endpoint Protection prior to SEP 12.1 RU6 MP9 could be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue that allows a user to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected at lower access levels. In the circumstances of this issue, the capability of exploit is limited by the need to perform multiple file and directory writes to the local filesystem and as such, is not feasible in a standard drive-by type attack.

Prior to SEE v11.1.3MP1, Symantec Endpoint Encryption can be susceptible to a null pointer de-reference issue, which can result in a NullPointerException that can lead to a privilege escalation scenario.

Symantec Reporter 9.5 prior to 9.5.4.1 and 10.1 prior to 10.1.5.5 does not restrict excessive authentication attempts for management interface users. A remote attacker can use brute force search to guess a user password and gain access to Reporter.

The Norton App Lock prior to version 1.3.0.13 can be susceptible to an authentication bypass exploit. In this type of circumstance, the exploit can allow the user to kill the app to prevent it from locking the device, thereby allowing the individual to gain device access.

Symantec Endpoint Protection prior to 14 RU1 MP1 or 12.1 RU6 MP10 could be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue that allows a user to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected at lower access levels.

The Inventory Plugin for Symantec Management Agent prior to 7.6 POST HF7, 8.0 POST HF6, or 8.1 RU7 may be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue that allows a user to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected at lower access levels.

The Norton Identity Safe product prior to 5.3.0.976 may be susceptible to a privilege escalation issue via a hard coded IV, which is a type of vulnerability that can potentially increase the likelihood of encrypted data being recovered without adequate credentials.

The Symantec Messaging Gateway product prior to 10.6.6 may be susceptible to an authentication bypass exploit, which is a type of issue that can allow attackers to potentially circumvent security mechanisms currently in place and gain access to the system or network.
