Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2014-02-13

CVE [?]: CVE-2013-5014, CVE-2013-5015
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:symantec:endpoint_protection_manager

Synopsis

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) running on the remote host is either 11.x prior to 11.0 RU7-MP4a or 12.x prior to 12.1 RU4a. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- SEPM is affected by an XML external entity injection vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files. (CVE-2013-5014)

- SEPM is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input. A locally authenticated user could potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the back-end database. (CVE-2013-5015)

Solution

Upgrade to 11.0 RU7-MP4a / 12.1 RU4a or later.

Public Exploits
