DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Web Gateway,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain
security restrictions and by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions, conduct SQL injection attacks, and compromise
a vulnerable system.

1) The application improperly validates certain input via the
management console and can be exploited to inject arbitrary shell
commands.

2) An error within the authentication mechanism of the application
can be exploited to bypass the authentication by modification of
certain local files.

3) Certain unspecified input passed to the management console is not
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

4) The application improperly validates certain input to multiple
scripts via the management console and can be exploited to e.g.
inject arbitrary shell commands.

5) The application improperly validates certain input via the
management console and can be exploited to change the password of an
arbitrary user of the application.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to Database Update
5.0.0.438.

SOLUTION:
Apply Database Update 5.0.0.438.
