Vulnerabilities (CVE)

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.

Secure Webserver 1.1 in Raptor 6.5 and Symantec Enterprise Firewall 6.5.2 allows remote attackers to identify IP addresses of hosts on the internal network via a CONNECT request, which generates different error messages if the host is present.

Sygate personal firewall 5.0 could allow remote attackers to bypass firewall filters via spoofed (1) source IP address of 127.0.0.1 or (2) network address of 127.0.0.0.

The installation of ON Symantec Discovery 4.5.x and Symantec Discovery 6.0 creates the (1) DiscoveryWeb and (2) DiscoveryRO database accounts with null passwords, which could allow attackers to gain privileges or prevent Discovery from running by setting another password.

Symantec LiveUpdate 1.4 through 1.6, and possibly later versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (flood) via DNS spoofing of the update.symantec.com site.

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.

Symantec Norton Utilities 2.0 for Windows 95 marks the TUNEOCX.OCX ActiveX control as safe for scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the run option through malicious web pages that are accessed by browsers such as Internet Explorer 3.0.

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.

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).

Symantec pcAnywhere 8.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU utilization) via a large amount of data to port 5631.

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.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in the ActiveX and HTML file browsers in Symantec Clientless VPN Gateway 4400 Series 5.0 have unknown attack vectors and unknown impact.

Symantec ON Command CCM 5.4.x and iCommand 3.0.x has four default usernames and passwords, one of which is hardcoded, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access.

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.

Symantec Enterprise Firewall/VPN Appliances 100, 200, and 200R running firmware before 1.63 and Gateway Security 320, 360, and 360R running firmware before 622 uses a default read/write SNMP community string, which allows remote attackers to alter the firewall's configuration file.

Symantec LiveUpdate 1.5 and earlier in Norton Antivirus stores usernames and passwords for a local LiveUpdate server in cleartext in the registry, which may allow remote attackers to impersonate the LiveUpdate server.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in DiskMountNotify for Symantec Norton AntiVirus 9.0.3 allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the PATH to reference a malicious (1) ps or (2) grep file.

The installation of SQLAnywhere in Symantec Ghost 8.0 and 8.2, as used in Symantec Ghost Solutions Suite (SGSS) 1.0, includes a default administrator login account and password, which allows local users to gain privileges or modify tasks.

SQLAnywhere in Symantec Ghost 8.0 and 8.2, as used in Symantec Ghost Solutions Suite (SGSS) 1.0, gives read and write permissions to all users for database shared memory sections, which allows local users to access and possibly modify certain information.

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.

Symantec Norton SystemWorks and SystemWorks Premier 2005 and 2006 stores temporary copies of files in the Norton Protected Recycle Bin NProtect directory, which is hidden from the FindFirst and FindNext Windows APIs and allows remote attackers to hide arbitrary files from virus scanners and other products.

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.

Buffer overflow in the "RuFSI Utility Class" ActiveX control (aka "RuFSI Registry Information Class"), as used for the Symantec Security Check service, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to CompareVersionStrings.

Brightmail Spamfilter 6.0 and earlier beta releases allows remote attackers to read mail from other users by modifying the id parameter in a viewMsgDetails.do request.

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.

The default encryption method of PcAnywhere 9.x uses weak encryption, which allows remote attackers to sniff and decrypt PcAnywhere or NT domain accounts.

Symantec Ghost 7.0 stores usernames and passwords in plaintext in the NGServer\params registry key, which could allow an attacker to gain privileges.

Symantec Firewall/VPN Appliance 100 through 200R hardcodes the administrator's MAC address inside the firewall's configuration, which allows remote attackers to spoof the administrator's MAC address and perform an ARP poisoning man-in-the-middle attack to obtain the administrator's password.

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.

Symantec Raptor Firewall 6.5 and 6.5.3, Enterprise Firewall 6.5.2 and 7.0, VelociRaptor Models 500/700/1000 and 1100/1200/1300, and Gateway Security 5110/5200/5300 generate easily predictable initial sequence numbers (ISN), which allows remote attackers to spoof connections.

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.

Buffer overflow in Entrust LibKmp ISAKMP library, as used by Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7.0 through 8.0, Gateway Security 5300 1.0, Gateway Security 5400 2.0, and VelociRaptor 1.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ISAKMP payload.

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.

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.

In some cases, Norton Antivirus for Exchange (NavExchange) enters a "fail-open" state which allows viruses to pass through the server.

Symantec pcAnywhere 12.5 uses weak integrity protection for .cif (aka caller or CallerID) files, which allows local users to generate a custom .cif file and modify the superuser flag.

The web proxy component in Symantec Enterprise Firewall (SEF) 6.5.2 through 7.0, Raptor Firewall 6.5 and 6.5.3, VelociRaptor, and Symantec Gateway Security allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection resource exhaustion) via multiple connection requests to domains whose DNS server is unresponsive or does not exist, which generates a long timeout.

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.
