CVE-2013-5008: Symantec Management Platform

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The agent and task-agent components in Symantec Management Platform 7.0 and 7.1 before 7.1 SP2 Mp1.1v7 rollup, as used in certain Altiris products, use the same registry-entry encryption key across different customers' installations, which makes it easier for local users to obtain sensitive information about package-server access, or cause a denial of service, by leveraging knowledge of this key.

Affected products

• Symantec Management Platform: version 7.0 only; version 7.1 only
