SymantecCVEs & Vulnerabilities

Integer signedness error in the administrative interface for Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.0 and 4.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP headers with negative values, which lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0.1.x and 9.0.4.x, and possibly other versions, when obtaining updates from an internal LiveUpdate server, stores sensitive information in cleartext in the Log.Liveupdate log file, which allows attackers to obtain the username and password to the internal LiveUpdate server.

Symantec AntiVirus 9 Corporate Edition allows local users to gain privileges via the "Scan for viruses" option, which launches a help window with raised privileges, a re-introduction of a vulnerability that was originally identified and addressed by CVE-2002-1540.

Symantec pcAnywhere 10.5x and 11.x before 11.5, with "Launch with Windows" enabled, allows local users with physical access to execute arbitrary commands via the Caller Properties feature.

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam before 6.0.2 has a hard-coded database administrator password, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges.

Multiple Symantec AntiVirus products, including Norton AntiVirus 2005 11.0.0, Web Security Web Security 3.0.1.72, Mail Security for SMTP 4.0.5.66, AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.3.7.27, SAV/Filter for Domino NT 3.1.1.87, and Mail Security for Exchange 4.5.4.743, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (component crash) and avoid detection via a crafted RAR file.

The SMTP binding function in Symantec Firewall/VPN Appliance 200/200R firmware after 1.5Z and before 1.68, Gateway Security 360/360R and 460/460R firmware before vuild 858, and Nexland Pro800turbo, when configured for load balancing between two WANs, might send SMTP traffic to a trusted network through an untrusted network.

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.

The Sun Java Plugin capability in Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2_01, 1.4.2_04, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly restrict access between Javascript and Java applets during data transfer, which allows remote attackers to load unsafe classes and execute arbitrary code by using the reflection API to access private Java packages.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the DEC2EXE module for Symantec AntiVirus Library allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a UPX compressed file containing a negative virtual offset to a crafted PE header.

The stuffit.com executable on Symantec PowerQuest DeployCenter 5.5 boot disks allows local users to obtain sensitive information (an unencrypted password for a Windows domain account) via four "stuffit /f:stuffit.dat" invocations, possibly due to a buffer overflow.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Symantec Web Security 2.5, 3.0.0, and 3.0.1 before build 62 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string in blocked URLs that are listed in (1) error or (2) block page messages.

rufsi.dll in Symantec Virus Detection allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long string to the GetPrivateProfileString function. NOTE: this issue was originally reported as a buffer overflow, but that specific claim is disputed by the vendor, although a crash is acknowledged.

The character converters in the Spamhunter and Language ID modules for Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam 6.0.1 before patch 132 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via messages with the ISO-8859-10 character set, which is not recognized by the converters.

The do_change_cipher_spec function in OpenSSL 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k, and 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that triggers a null dereference.

OpenSSL 0.9.6 before 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop), as demonstrated using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool.

The SSL/TLS handshaking code in OpenSSL 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c, when using Kerberos ciphersuites, does not properly check the length of Kerberos tickets during a handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that causes an out-of-bounds read.

The SYMDNS.SYS driver in Symantec Norton Internet Security and Professional 2002 through 2004, Norton Personal Firewall 2002 through 2004, Norton AntiSpam 2004, Client Firewall 5.01 and 5.1.1, and Client Security 1.0 through 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption from infinite loop) via a DNS response with a compressed name pointer that points to itself.
