VULHUB ™

The Symantec Enterprise Firewall (SEP) is a high performance firewall solution, and is available for both Windows and Solaris systems. SEP includes a notification mechanism for important log messages, which is implemented through the Notify Daemon. It is possible to send notifcations to a specified server through SNMP traps. The SNMP reporting mechanism may, under some circumstances, fail to forward messages. This may occur when the message is over 1024 characters. Although the error is logged, no additional notification is sent. Exploitation of this vulnerability may result in lost information, possibly allowing an attack against the firewall or internal systems to go undetected. Other versions of Symantec Enterprise Firewall may share this vulnerability.
