Symantec Enterprise Security Manager Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

CVE Number Pending

________________________________________________________________________
_______

? Synopsis

The Symantec Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) platform and agent are
susceptible to a race condition that can cause the application to lock up,
resulting in a denial-of-service.

Symantec Enterprise Security Manager Agent versions 6 and 6.5.x

? Vulnerability Information

A specially crafted invalid request can be sent to the manager server to
simulate an ESM agent. This causes both the ESM manager and ESM agent to

of ESM managers and agents. Manager and agent restarts are required to
recover from an attack.
