DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in McAfee Email and Web
Security Appliance and Email Gateway, which can be exploited by
malicious users to disclose certain sensitive information and by
malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

1) An unspecified error within the authentication mechanism can be
exploited to gain administrative privileges.

2) Certain input passed to the web interface is not properly verified
before being used to download files. This can be exploited to download
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
sequences.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects McAfee Email Gateway 7.x.

3) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

* McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) versions 7.0.0 and 7.0.1.
* McAfee Email and Web Security (EWS) versions 5.6 Patch 3 and prior
