Synopsis

The Symantec Endpoint Protection Client installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client installed on the remote host is 12.x prior to 12.1.7454.7000 or 14.x prior to 14.2.5323.2000. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the second layer of password protection. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary actions with local administrator privileges. (CVE-2019-12756)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this to gain privileged access to the system. (CVE-2019-12757, CVE-2019-18372)

- A remote command execution vulnerability exists due to an unsigned code execution vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute code without a resident proper digital signature. (CVE-2019-12758) Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Symantec Endpoint Protection Client version 12.1.7454.7000, 14.2.5323.2000 or later.
