The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client installed on the remote Windows host is 12.1.x prior to 12.1.6 MP6 or else 12.1.6 MP5 without a hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error     that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2016-5309)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to memory corruption issue that     occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2016-5310)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Symantec Protection for SharePoint Servers (SPSS) installed on the remote host is 6.0.3 to 6.0.5 prior to hotfix 2.5, 6.0.6 prior to hotfix 2.6, or 6.0.7 prior to hotfix 2.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error     that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.

    (CVE-2016-5310)

The version of Symantec Protection Engine (SPE) installed on the remote Linux host is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.5 hotfix 02, 7.5.x prior to 7.5.5 hotifx 01, or 7.8.x prior to 7.8.0 hotifx 03. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error     that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.

    (CVE-2016-5310)

According to its self-reported version number, the Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) running on the remote host is 10.x prior to 10.6.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error     that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2016-5309)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to memory corruption issue that     occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2016-5310)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     charting component in the control center due to improper     sanitization of user-supplied input submitted for     charting requests. An authenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, via a directory traversal attack, to     disclose arbitrary files or directory contents.
    (CVE-2016-5312)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Symantec Mail Security for Exchange (SMSMSE) or Symantec Mail Security for Domino (SMSDOM) installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the decomposer engine :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error     that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
