"According to its self-reported version number, the Symantec Messaging
Gateway (SMG) running on the remote host is 10.x prior to 10.6.3-266.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
    handling email attachments involving malformed or
    corrupted Word files containing macros. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted email, to bypass the 'disarm'
    functionality even though it has been enabled by the
    administrator. (CVE-2017-6324)

  - A local file inclusion vulnerability exists due to a
    failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input when
    building a path to executable code. An authenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially
    crafted request, to include arbitrary files for
    execution, provided they are already present on the
    targeted host. (CVE-2017-6325)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated,
    remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-6326)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead
relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
