Official Description

The SymTDI device driver (SYMTDI.SYS) in Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.1.7 and earlier, Internet Security 2005 and 2006, AntiVirus Corporate Edition 3.0.x through 10.1.x, and other Norton products, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by sending crafted data to the driver's \Device file, which triggers invalid memory access, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4855.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2007-1476 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2007-1476. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
