DISPUTED The proxy DNS service in Symantec Gateway Security (SGS) allows remote attackers to make arbitrary DNS queries to third-party DNS servers, while hiding the source IP address of the attacker. NOTE: another researcher has stated that the default configuration does not proxy DNS queries received on the external interface.

The HTTP proxy in Symantec Gateway Security 5000 Series 2.0.1 and 3.0, and Enterprise Firewall 8.0, when NAT is being used, allows remote attackers to determine internal IP addresses by using malformed HTTP requests, as demonstrated using a get request without a space separating the URI.
