CVSS v3.1 |
| The default configurations for McAfee Virus Scan and Norton Anti-Virus virus checkers do not check files in the RECYCLED folder that is used by the Windows Recycle Bin utility, which allows attackers to store malicious code without detection. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in Symantec Antivirus 10.1 and Client Security 3.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors. |
| In some cases, Norton Antivirus for Exchange (NavExchange) enters a "fail-open" state which allows viruses to pass through the server. |
| The GUI functionality for an interactive session in Symantec LiveUpdate 1.70.x through 1.90.x, as used in Norton Internet Security 2001 through 2004, SystemWorks 2001 through 2004, and AntiVirus and Norton AntiVirus Pro 2001 through 2004, AntiVirus for Handhelds v3.0, allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges. |
| Format string vulnerability in the Real Time Virus Scan service in Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.1 up to 10.0, and Client Security 1.x up to 3.0, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an unspecified vector related to alert notification messages, a different vector than CVE-2006-3454, a "second format string vulnerability" as found by the vendor. |
| 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. |
| The \Device\SymEvent driver in Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.0.33, and other versions of Norton Personal Firewall, Internet Security, AntiVirus, SystemWorks, Symantec Client Security SCS 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, and 3.1, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition SAVCE 8.x, 9.x, 10.0, and 10.1, Symantec pcAnywhere 11.5 only, and Symantec Host, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via invalid data, as demonstrated by calling DeviceIoControl to send the data. |
| NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002 allows remote attackers to send viruses that bypass the e-mail scanning via a NULL character in the MIME header before the virus. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, acknowledging that the initial scan is bypassed, but the AutoProtect feature would detect the virus before it is executed |
| NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Symantec Norton AntiVirus (NAV) 2002 allows remote attackers to bypass the initial virus scan and cause NAV to prematurely stop scanning by using a non-RFC compliant MIME header. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, acknowledging that the initial scan is bypassed, but the AutoProtect feature would detect the virus before it is executed |
| Norton AntiVirus for Internet Email Gateways (NAVIEG) 1.0.1.7 and earlier, and Norton AntiVirus for MS Exchange (NAVMSE) 1.5 and earlier, store the administrator password in cleartext in (1) the navieg.ini file for NAVIEG, and (2) the ModifyPassword registry key in NAVMSE. |
| A certain ActiveX control in Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary programs. |
| Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002 and 2003 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a compressed archive that contains a large number of directories. |
| 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. |
| Unknown versions of Symantec Norton AntiVirus and Microsoft Outlook allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed e-mail messages (1) without a body or (2) without a carriage return ("\n") separating the headers from the body. |
| Buffer overflow in the web server for Norton AntiVirus for Internet Email Gateways allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long URL. |
| 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. |
| Buffer overflow in Norton Antivirus for Exchange (NavExchange) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a .zip file that contains long file names. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
