Synopsis
A messaging security application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) running on the remote host is 10.x prior to 10.6.3-267.It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An unspecified flaw exists due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2017-6327)
- A cross site request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists as HTTP requests to certain pages do not require multiple steps, explicit confirmation, or a unique token when performing certain sensitive actions. (CVE-2017-6328)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) version 10.6.3-267 or later.See Also
