The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client installed on the remote Windows host is 12.1.x prior to 12.1.6 MP6 or else 12.1.6 MP5 without a hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the decomposer engine due to an out-of-bounds read error that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
(CVE-2016-5309)
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the decomposer engine due to memory corruption issue that occurs when decompressing RAR archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted RAR file, to crash the application.
(CVE-2016-5310)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
