It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-15526 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Encryption. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15526/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15526/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-15526","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15526/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-15526","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gmf5-77wc-rpjr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint encryption software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in Symantec Endpoint Encryption allows attackers to trigger a crash and potentially escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_encryption","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"Prior to SEE v11.1.3MP1, Symantec Endpoint Encryption can be susceptible to a null pointer de-reference issue, which can result in a NullPointerException that can lead to a privilege escalation scenario.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Null dereference in Symantec Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2017-15526","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in Symantec Management Console","id":"CVE-2017-15527"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Symantec Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2017-15525"},"products":["Symantec Endpoint Encryption"],"published":"2017-11-13","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2019-9702","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Symantec Endpoint Encryption, prior to SEE 11.3.0, may be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue that","id":"CVE-2019-9703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2019-9694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8156","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-05-14"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"Information disclosure in Symantec Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2017-13683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-23"},{"cvss_score":4.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Symantec Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2017-15525","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Symantec Corporation"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in Symantec Endpoint Encryption allows attackers to trigger a crash and potentially escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15526/"}
