漏洞描述
Symantec Firewall and VPN appliances contain a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. The problem is that passwords are entered in plaintext without being masked in a HTML form. Hence it allows other people with physical access to see a password when it is entered, which may lead to a loss of confidentiality.
