CVE-2012-0295: The Manager service in the management console in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1 before 12.1 RU1-MP...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects the Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 management console before 12.1 RU1-MP1. A remote attacker could use a related flaw, CVE-2012-0294, to insert files and run arbitrary code. That puts the security management server itself at risk, which can have broad operational impact. Organizations running Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 management console versions earlier than 12.1 RU1-MP1 are the likely exposed population. Exposure is higher if the Manager service is reachable from untrusted networks. Prioritize remediation where SEP management servers remain in use, especially if reachable beyond trusted administration networks. The issue targets security infrastructure and can allow code execution, but current exploitation evidence is not provided in the source bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SEP 12.1 management console to 12.1 RU1-MP1 or later.; Review the Symantec advisory for vendor-specific remediation instructions.; Confirm CVE-2012-0294 is remediated because this issue depends on it..
