The web proxy component in Symantec Enterprise Firewall (SEF) 6.5.2 through 7.0, Raptor Firewall 6.5 and 6.5.3, VelociRaptor, and Symantec Gateway Security allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection resource exhaustion) via multiple connection requests to domains whose DNS server is unresponsive or does not exist, which generates a long timeout.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old denial-of-service flaw in legacy Symantec/Raptor firewall web proxy products. An attacker could tie up proxy connection resources by causing long DNS timeouts, potentially disrupting web proxy availability. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, named patches, or current exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely in organizations still running these obsolete firewall or gateway products with the affected web proxy component enabled. Modern environments are unlikely to be exposed unless legacy appliances or unsupported virtualized installations remain in service. Prioritize if any affected legacy product remains in production, especially on a perimeter path. The main business risk is service disruption from an old, likely unsupported security gateway component. Mitigation focus: Inventory environments for the listed legacy Symantec and Raptor firewall products.; Check archived Symantec guidance for official fixes, updates, or retirement direction.; Disable or restrict the affected web proxy where business operations allow..
