Synopsis

A mobile security application is affected by a file deletion vulnerability.

Description

The Trend Micro Mobile Security for Enterprise running on the remote host is affected by a file deletion vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted message, to delete arbitrary files on the remote host.

Note that this plugin looks for a TCP SYN packet from the target to the scanner on port 445 after a detection probe is sent. If the packet cannot reach the scanner (i.e., due to network restrictions), Nessus would not able to detect the vulnerability.

Solution
