The installation steps are similar whether the client is unmanaged or managed. You cannot deploy the Linux client from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager remotely. Moreover, the actions taken on the endpoint file are undertaken with the permissions of the targeted user or application, which may exceed the permissions that the attacker would normally have.You install an unmanaged or managed Symantec Endpoint Protection client directly on a Linux computer. This can be used to feed malformed input into the target or to cause the target to process different information, possibly allowing the attacker to control the actions of the target or to cause the target to expose information to the attacker. Alternatively, the endpoint file may serve as input to the targeted application. The former is especially damaging since the attacker may be able to grant themselves increased privileges or insert false information, but the latter can also be damaging as it can expose sensitive information or corrupt or destroy vital system or application files. In some variants of this attack the attacker may be able to control the change to a file while in other cases they cannot. Modifications to the endpoint file may include appending, overwriting, corrupting, changing permissions, or other modifications. If the file is output, the result is that the endpoint is modified, instead of a file at the intended location. The endpoint file may be either output or input. An attacker positions a symbolic link in such a manner that the targeted user or application accesses the link's endpoint, assuming that it is accessing a file with the link's name.
