CVSS v3.1 |
| Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.0.33, and possibly earlier, does not properly protect Norton registry keys, which allows local users to provide Trojan horse libraries to Norton by using RegSaveKey and RegRestoreKey to modify HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD\SuiteOwners, as demonstrated using NISProd.dll. NOTE: in most cases, this attack would not cross privilege boundaries, because modifying the SuiteOwners key requires administrative privileges. However, this issue is a vulnerability because the product's functionality is intended to protect against privileged actions such as this. |
| The WrapNISUM ActiveX component (WrapUM.dll) in Norton Internet Security 2004 is marked safe for scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via the LaunchURL method. |
| Norton Internet Security 2001 opens log files with FILE_SHARE_READ and FILE_SHARE_WRITE permissions, which could allow remote attackers to modify the log file contents while Norton Internet Security is running. |
| Unknown vulnerability in the Auto-Protect module in Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004 and 2005, as also used in Internet Security 2004/2005 and System Works 2004/2005, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang or crash) by triggering a scan of a certain file type. |
| The SmartScan feature in the Auto-Protect module for Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004 and 2005, as also used in Internet Security 2004/2005 and System Works 2004/2005, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and system crash) by renaming a file on a network share. |
| Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004, and earlier versions, allows a virus or other malicious code to avoid detection or cause a denial of service (application crash) using a filename containing an MS-DOS device name. |
| Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.1 up to 10.0, and Client Security 1.x up to 3.0, allow local users to execute arbitrary code via format strings in (1) Tamper Protection and (2) Virus Alert Notification messages. |
| In some cases, Norton Antivirus for Exchange (NavExchange) enters a "fail-open" state which allows viruses to pass through the server. |
| Symantec LiveUpdate 1.4 through 1.6, and possibly later versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (flood) via DNS spoofing of the update.symantec.com site. |
| Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam before 6.0.2 has a hard-coded database administrator password, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges. |
| Norton Anti-Virus (NAV) allows remote attackers to bypass content filtering via attachments whose Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are mixed upper and lower case, which is ignored by some mail clients. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the SymSpamHelper ActiveX component (symspam.dll) in Norton AntiSpam 2004, as used in Norton Internet Security 2004, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long parameter to the LaunchCustomRuleWizard method. |
| NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Symantec Norton AntiVirus (NAV) 2002 allows remote attackers to bypass e-mail scanning via a filename in the Content-Type field with an excluded extension such as .nch or .dbx, but a malicious extension in the Content-Disposition field, which is used by Outlook to obtain the file name. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, acknowledging that the initial scan is bypassed, but Norton AntiVirus or the Office plug-in would detect the virus before it is executed |
| The DeviceIoControl function in the Norton Device Driver (NAVAP.sys) in Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002 allows local users to gain privileges by overwriting memory locations via certain control codes (aka "Device Driver Attack"). |
| The LiveUpdate capability (liveupdate.sh) in Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.0 and 4.3 for Red Hat Linux allows local users to create or append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/LiveUpdate.log. |
| PCAnywhere allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by terminating the connection before PCAnywhere provides a login prompt. |
| Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam (SBAS) before 6.0.4, when the Control Center is allowed to connect from any computer, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application freeze) "by sending invalid posts". |
| Symantec Norton Utilities 2.0 for Windows 95 marks the TUNEOCX.OCX ActiveX control as safe for scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the run option through malicious web pages that are accessed by browsers such as Internet Explorer 3.0. |
| M4 Macro Library in Symantec Security Information Manager before 4.0.2.29 HOTFIX 1 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via crafted "rule definitions", which produces dangerous Java code during M4 transformation. |
| Symantec FireWall/VPN Appliance model 200 records a cleartext password for the password administration page, which may be cached on the administrator's local system or in a proxy, which allows attackers to steal the password and gain privileges. |
