TITLE

Symantec Web Gateway Vulnerability in arbitrary code upload on the management screen

DESCRIPTION

The file-management scripts in the management GUI in Symantec Web Gateway 5.0.x before 5.0.3 allow remote attackers to upload arbitrary code to a designated pathname, and possibly execute this code, via unspecified vectors. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists because Symantec Web Gateway allows unauthenticated users to upload a file while preserving the file extension. Symantec Web Gateway is a Web security gateway hardware appliance. This may facilitate unauthorized access or OS command execution with elevated privileges; other attacks are also possible. Symantec Web Gateway (SWG) is a set of network content filtering software developed by Symantec Corporation of the United States. The software provides web content filtering, data loss prevention, and more. - -- Vendor Response: Symantec has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
