Symantec : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2007

The Symantec NAVOPTS.DLL ActiveX control (aka Symantec.Norton.AntiVirus.NAVOptions) 12.2.0.13, as used in Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works 2005 and 2006, is designed for use only in application-embedded web browsers, which allows remote attackers to "crash the control" via unspecified vectors related to content on a web site, and place Internet Explorer into a "defunct state" in which remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in addition to other Symantec ActiveX controls, regardless of whether they are marked safe for scripting. NOTE: this CVE was inadvertently used for an E-mail Auto-Protect issue, but that issue has been assigned CVE-2007-3771.

Multiple buffer overflows in the SupportSoft (1) SmartIssue (tgctlsi.dll) and (2) ScriptRunner (tgctlsr.dll) ActiveX controls, as used by Symantec Automated Support Assistant and Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works 2006, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML message.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Decomposer component in multiple Symantec products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple crafted CAB archives.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Symantec Web Security (SWS) before 3.0.1.85 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors related to (1) error messages and (2) blocked page messages produced by SWS.

The license registering interface in Symantec Web Security (SWS) before 3.0.1.85 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by submitting a large file.

Multiple buffer overflows in the CentennialIPTransferServer service (XFERWAN.EXE), as used by (1) Centennial Discovery 2006 Feature Pack 1, (2) Numara Asset Manager 8.0, and (3) Symantec Discovery 6.5, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long strings in a crafted TCP packet.

Buffer overflow in Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 5.0 before Patch 175 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted headers in an e-mail message. NOTE: some information was obtained from third party sources.

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.

The \Device\SymEvent driver in Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.1.7, and possibly other products using symevent.sys 12.0.0.20, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via invalid data, as demonstrated by calling DeviceIoControl to send the data, a reintroduction of CVE-2006-4855.

The administrative service in Symantec Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) for Windows 3.1 through 4.3, and VVR for Unix 3.5 through 5.0, in Symantec Storage Foundation products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and service crash) via a crafted packet to the service port (8199/tcp) that triggers a request for more memory than available, which causes the service to write to an invalid pointer.

Buffer overflow in the ISAlertDataCOM ActiveX control in ISLALERT.DLL for Norton Personal Firewall 2004 and Internet Security 2004 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) Get and (2) Set functions.

libdayzero.dll in the Filter Hub Service (filter-hub.exe) in Symantec Mail Security for SMTP before 5.0.1 Patch 181 and Mail Security Appliance before 5.0.0-36 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted executable attachment in an e-mail, involving the detection of "PE-Shield v0.2" and "ASPack v1.00-1.08.02".

SPBBCDrv.sys in Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.0.33 and 9.1.1.7 does not validate certain arguments before being passed to hooked SSDT function handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted arguments to the (1) NtCreateMutant and (2) NtOpenEvent functions. NOTE: it was later reported that Norton Internet Security 2008 15.0.0.60, and possibly other versions back to 2006, are also affected.

The Scheduler Service (VxSchedService.exe) in Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows 5.0 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code via certain requests to the service socket that create (1) PreScript or (2) PostScript registry values under Veritas\VxSvc\CurrentVersion\Schedules specifying future command execution.

Buffer overflow in Ghost Service Manager, as used in Symantec Norton Ghost, Norton Save & Recovery, LiveState Recovery, and BackupExec System Recovery before 20070426, allows local users to gain privileges via a long string.

Symantec Norton Ghost, Norton Save & Recovery, LiveState Recovery, and BackupExec System Recovery before 20070426, when remote backups of restore point images are configured, encrypt network share credentials with a key formed by a hash of the username, which allows local users to obtain the credentials by calculating the key.

Symantec Norton Ghost, Norton Save & Recovery, LiveState Recovery, and BackupExec System Recovery before 20070426, when remote backups of restore points images are configured, uses weak permissions (world readable) for a configuration file with network share credentials, which allows local users to obtain the credentials by reading the file.

The agent remote upgrade interface in Symantec Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) before 20070405 does not verify the authenticity of upgrades, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via software that implements the agent upgrade protocol.

Stack-based buffer overflow in XferWan.exe as used in multiple products including (1) Symantec Discovery 6.5, (2) Numara Asset Manager 8.0, and (3) Centennial UK Ltd Discovery 2006 Feature Pack, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long request. NOTE: this might be a reservation duplicate of CVE-2007-1173.

Symantec pcAnywhere 11.5.x and 12.0.x retains unencrypted login credentials for the most recent login within process memory, which allows local administrators to obtain the credentials by reading process memory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3785.

Race condition in the Symantec Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) 6.5.3 managers and agents on Windows before 20070524 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and application hang) via certain network scans to ESM ports.

Centennial Discovery 2006 Feature Pack 1, which is used by (1) Numara Asset Manager 8.0 and (2) Symantec Discovery 6.5, uses insecure permissions on certain directories, which allows local users to gain privileges.

Multiple unspecified "input validation error" vulnerabilities in multiple ActiveX controls in NavComUI.dll, as used in multiple Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works products for 2006, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) the AnomalyList property to AxSysListView32 and (2) Anomaly property to AxSysListView32OAA.

Symantec Reporting Server 1.0.197.0, and other versions before 1.0.224.0, as used in Symantec Client Security 3.1 and later, and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (SAV CE) 10.1 and later, does not initialize a critical variable, which allows attackers to create arbitrary executable files via unknown manipulations of a file that is created during data export.

Symantec Reporting Server 1.0.197.0, and other versions before 1.0.224.0, as used in Symantec Client Security 3.1 and later, and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (SAV CE) 10.1 and later, displays the password hash for a user after a failed login attempt, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute force attacks.
