Description
axengine.exe in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.8.x and 6.9.x before 6.9.176 generates credentials with a fixed salt or without any salt, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess encrypted domain credentials.
Affected
Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.
Affected range stops below 6.9.176, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
