McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Remote Compromise Vulnerability

Synopsis:

ISS X-Force has discovered a vulnerability in the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 
software. ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) enables the enterprise management of 
all manner of security software, from virus and vulnerability scanners to 
personal firewalls. The affected versions of ePO server contain a flaw that 
can lead to arbitrary code execution on vulnerable systems.

Impact:

Attackers may remotely exploit this vulnerability to gain Administrator 
access to any vulnerable ePO server. In addition to the server, this 
vulnerability can be used to gain access to ePO agent systems. The ePO 
server is commonly used to distribute enterprise-wide updates for security 
software, and as such this vulnerability opens up the potential for 
enterprise-wide exploitation in certain configurations.
