TITLE:
Symantec Firewall / VPN 100/200/200R Exposure of Password

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA11013

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/11013/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Symantec Firewall / VPN 100/200/200R

DESCRIPTION:
Davide Del Vecchio has discovered a security issue in Symantec
Firewall / VPN 100/200/200R, possibly allowing malicious people to
see passwords.

The problem is that passwords are entered in clear text without being
masking in a HTML form. This may allow other people with physical
access to see a password when it is entered.

This affects Symantec Firewall / VPN 100, 200, and 200R.

SOLUTION:
Symantec has issued patches.
