Brightmail AntiSpam bmagent Multiple Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Tries to read a local file using Brightmail Agent Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Description : The remote host is running Brightmail AntiSpam, an anti-spam and anti- virus filter for mail servers, and includes Brightmail Agent, a web server intended to be used by a Brightmail Control Center to manage the Brightmail Scanner. The version of Brightmail Agent installed on the remote host does not require authentication and thus permits attackers to gain administrative control of the affected application. A possible hacker can exploit this issue to stop or disable the Brightmail Scanner's services, which could disrupt mail delivery for legitimate users or to read and write to files associated with the application, which could result in the disclosure of sensitive information or reconfiguration of the application itself. In addition, the Brightmail Agent suffers from a directory traversal vulnerability such that reads and writes are not limited to the application's directory. Successful exploitation of this issue may result in a complete compromise of the affected host since, under Windows, the application runs with LOCAL SYSTEM rights. See also : http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2006.07.27.html Solution : Either restrict access to Brightmail Agent (refer to document id 2004123109522163 in Symantec's Support Knowledge Base) or upgrade to Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam 6.0.4 / Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 5.0 or later.
