Buffer overflow in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 11.0.600x through 11.0.710x and Symantec Network Access Control (SNAC) 11.0.600x through 11.0.710x allows local users to gain privileges, and modify data or cause a denial of service, via a crafted script.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0289 is a buffer overflow in older Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Network Access Control 11.x builds. A local user could use a crafted script to gain higher privileges, change data, or crash affected software. The issue matters most where legacy SEP or SNAC remains installed. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running legacy Symantec SEP or SNAC 11.0.600x-11.0.710x. Systems without these products or versions are not identified as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy endpoint-security risk. It is not reported as actively exploited in the provided evidence, but affected systems protect other assets, so unresolved exposure weakens endpoint trust and should be retired or updated promptly. Mitigation focus: Inventory SEP and SNAC installations and identify 11.0.600x-11.0.710x builds.; Review Symantec's advisory for vendor-approved fixes or upgrade guidance.; Prioritize removal or replacement of unsupported legacy endpoint security software..
