Symantec : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2005

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.

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.

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.

Buffer overflow in Symantec pcAnywhere 11.0.1, 11.5.1, and all other 32-bit versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unknown attack vectors.

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

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.

Buffer overflow in the Internet Key Exchange version 1 (IKEv1) implementation in Symantec Dynamic VPN Services, as used in Enterprise Firewall, Gateway Security, and Firewall /VPN Appliance products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted IKE packets, as demonstrated by the PROTOS ISAKMP Test Suite for IKEv1.

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.

** SPLIT ** The jlucaller program in LiveUpdate for Symantec Norton AntiVirus 9.0.3 on Macintosh runs setuid when executing Java programs, which allows local users to gain privileges. NOTE: due to a CNA error, this candidate was also originally assigned to an issue in DiskMountNotify. Use CVE-2005-3270 for the DiskMountNotify issue, and CVE-2005-2759 for the LiveUpdate issue.

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 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.

Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of Symantec Antivirus allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a malicious executable in a specially crafted RAR file with malformed central and local headers, which can still be opened by products such as Winrar and PowerZip, even though they are rejected as corrupted by Winzip and BitZipper.

Unknown vulnerability in the DNSd proxy, as used in Symantec Gateway Security 5400 2.x and 5300 1.x, Enterprise Firewall 7.0.x and 8.x, and VelociRaptor 1100/1200/1300 1.5, allows remote attackers to poison the DNS cache and redirect users to malicious sites.

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.

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam 6.0 build 1 and 2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bmserver component termination) via malformed MIME messages.

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 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.

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.
