Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-145

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-145
Posted Aug 23, 2012
Authored by Tipping Point | Site zerodayinitiative.com

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-145 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec Endpoint Protection. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within SemSvc.exe which listens by default on TCP port 8443 (https). The SemSvc service exposes a servlet called 'AgentServlet" which allows remote users to activate certain tasks without prior authentication. In doing so, it is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks and arbitrary file deletion. When certain files are deleted, the eval() method will allow for executing user supplied commands. An attacker can leverage these vulnerabilities to execute code under the context of the SYSTEM.
