The NetBackup bpcd daemon (bpcd.exe) in Symantec Veritas NetBackup 5.0 before 5.0_MP7, 5.1 before 5.1_MP6, and 6.0 before 6.0_MP4 does not properly check for chained commands, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by appending malicious commands to valid commands.Show less

Symantec LiveState 7.1 Agent for Windows allows local users to gain privileges by stopping the shstart.exe process and open "Web Self-Service" from the system tray icon, which will open a browser window running with elevated privileges. NOTE: several third-party researchers have noted that administrator privileges may be necessary to terminate shstart.exe. If this is the case, then no privilege escalation occurs, and this is not a vulnerabilityShow less

The SAVRT.SYS device driver, as used in Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.1 and 9.0.x up to 9.0.3, and Symantec Client Security 1.1 and 2.0.x up to 2.0.3, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a modified address for the output buffer argument to the DeviceIOControl function.Show less

Unspecified vulnerability in an ActiveX control used in Symantec Automated Support Assistant, as used in Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works 2005 and 2006, allows user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.Show less

Stack-based buffer overflow in an ActiveX control used in Symantec Automated Support Assistant, as used in Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works 2005 and 2006, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.Show less

The (a) NAVENG (NAVENG.SYS) and (b) NAVEX15 (NAVEX15.SYS) device drivers 20061.3.0.12 and later, as used in Symantec AntiVirus and security products, allow local users to gain privileges by overwriting critical system addresses using a crafted Irp to the IOCTL functions (1) 0x222AD3, (2) 0x222AD7, and (3) 0x222ADB.Show less

Symantec Sygate NAC allows physically proximate attackers to bypass control methods and join a local network by selecting a forged MAC address associated with an exception rule that (1) permits all non-Windows devices or (2) whitelists certain sets of Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUIs).Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

The proxy DNS service in Symantec Gateway Security (SGS) allows remote attackers to make arbitrary DNS queries to third-party DNS servers, while hiding the source IP address of the attacker. NOTE: another researcher has stated that the default configuration does not proxy DNS queries received on the external interfaceShow less

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.Show less

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam (SBAS) before 6.0.4, when the Control Center is allowed to connect from any computer, allow remote attackers to read and overwrite certain files via directory traversal sequences in (1) DATABLOB-GET and (2) DATABLOB-SAVE requests.Show less

Symantec On-Demand Agent (SODA) before 2.5 MR2 Build 2157, and the Virtual Desktop module in Symantec On-Demand Protection (SODP) before 2.6 Build 2233, do not properly encrypt files that are subject to policy-based automatic encryption, which might allow local users to read sensitive data via an unspecified decryption method.Show less

Symantec pcAnywhere 12.5 obfuscates the passwords in a GUI textbox with asterisks but does not encrypt them in the associated .cif (aka caller or CallerID) file, which allows local users to obtain the passwords from the window using tools such as Nirsoft Asterwin.Show less

Symantec pcAnywhere 12.5 uses weak default permissions for the "Symantec\pcAnywhere\Hosts" folder, which allows local users to gain privileges by inserting a superuser .cif (aka caller or CallerID) file into the folder, and then using a pcAnywhere client to login as a local administrator.Show less
