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.
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
lock up, resulting in a denial-of-service. This issue affects all versions
of ESM managers and agents. Manager and agent restarts are required to
recover from an attack.
Symantec has released downloadable automated and manual fixes for most
supported ESM managers and agents. Complete instructions for automatically
updating ESM agents and manually updating ESM managers and agents can be
downloaded at the following site:
