CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Symantec PGP Universal Server 3.2.x before 3.2.1 MP2 does not properly manage sessions that include key search requests, which might allow remote attackers to read a private key in opportunistic circumstances by making a request near the end of a user's session.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-3582 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
