Local memory disclosure via out-of-bounds read
Published May 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
An out-of-bounds read in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager before 14.3 allows local users to disclose process memory. The vendor does not identify the specific component or input path, only that an existing application reads beyond allocated memory bounds. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access and has a confidentiality-only impact with no integrity or availability effect reported.
