Official Description
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.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-2341 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2006-2341. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
