OVERVIEW
Three vulnerabilities have been identified in McAfee Advanced Threat
Defense prior to version 3.4.4.63. [1]
IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following details regarding these
issues:
"1. Configuration Information: The MATD appliance web interface is
showing configuration information in plain text format.
2. Authentication Enforcement: The MATD web interface has loose
enforcement of authentication and authorization which leads to
information disclosure.
3. Privilege Escalation: The MATD appliance allows the administrator
only to change/update any configuration settings, but in some
instances an unprivileged user can manipulate some parameters to
gain administrator functionality." [1]
MITIGATION
The vendor recommends updating to the latest version of McAfee
Advanced Threat Defense to correct these issues. [1]
