Description
CVE-2015-5345 - Information disclosure.
Attackers that have access to the GUI Admin Console could list file system entities of the MWG appliance.
- CVE-2015-5345: Allows attackers to determine the existence of a directory
This vulnerability affects Apache Tomcat. https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5345
- CWE-200 Information Leak / Disclosure: The intentional disclosure of information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/200.html
CVE-2016-0787 - Weak/By-pass of encryption.
Session parameters of SSH handshake are less secure than should be. Attackers could theoretically guess those parameters, which could render the encryption useless.
- CVE-2016-0787:
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-0787
https://www.libssh2.org/adv_20160223.html

CVE-2016-0705 - DOS via double free/memory corruption.
Attackers could theoretically crash MWGs scanning component and hence disrupt its service temporarily but repeatable.
- CVE-2016-0705:
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0705
https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160301.txt
- CWE-415: Double Free: The software performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/415.html
CVE-2016-0797 - DOS and potentially other impacts via memory corruption and integer overflow.
Attackers could theoretically crash MWGs scanning component and hence disrupt its service temporarily but repeatable. Potentially there are other unspecified side effects.
- CVE-2016-0797:
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0797
https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160301.txt

CVE-2016-0702 - Information disclosure via by reading other processes processor cache lines.
Not exploitable because there are no local users on an MWG appliance.
Not exploitable because there are no local users on an MWG appliance.
- CVE-2016-0702:
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-0702
https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160301.txt

CVSS, or Common Vulnerability Scoring System, is the result of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council’s effort to standardize a system of assessing the criticality of a vulnerability. This system offers an unbiased criticality score between 0 and 10 that customers can use to judge how critical a vulnerability is and plan accordingly. For more information, please visit the CVSS website at: http://www.first.org/cvss/.
When calculating CVSS v2 scores, McAfee has adopted a philosophy that fosters consistency and repeatability. Our guiding principle for CVSS scoring is to score the exploit under consideration by itself. We consider only the immediate and direct impact of the exploit under consideration. We do not factor into a score any potential follow-on exploits that might be made possible by successful exploitation of the issue being scored.
CVSS v3 scoring is in final review as of December 2015. CVSS v2 will be replaced with CVSS v3 when v3 is fully approved. Security bulletins will have scores for both versions for at least 6 months after v3 is fully approved.
