Remediation

Upgrade Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) Policy Manager to 5.36.00.16 or later, the fixed version listed in the affected data. The source description gives the affected range as prior to 5.34.00.16, which does not match the 5.36.00.16 fixed version, so confirm the affected and fixed versions against Dell's advisory before deploying.
