Symantec ProxySG must tailor the Exceptions messages to generate error messages that provide the information necessary for corrective actions without revealing information that could be exploited by adversaries. An XCCDF Rule
Symantec ProxySG must tailor the Exceptions messages to generate error messages that provide the information necessary for corrective actions without revealing information that could be exploited by adversaries.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Providing too much information in error messages risks compromising the data and security of the application and system.
Organizations must carefully consider the structure/content of error messages. The required information within error messages will vary based on the protocol and error condition. Information that could be exploited by adversaries includes, for example, ICMP messages that reveal the use of firewalls or access control lists.
The ProxySG is designed to not reveal useful information to adversaries in error messages, although it may be configured to display custom exception pages to comply with site-specific requirements.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
