Symantec » Norton Personal Firewall : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Denial of service)

The Decomposer component in multiple Symantec products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a certain value in the PACK_SIZE field of a RAR archive file header.

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 \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 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 9.1.0.33, 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.

Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.0.33 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain RegSaveKey, RegRestoreKey and RegDeleteKey operations on the (1) HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNDSrvc and (2) HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SymEvent registry keys.

The SYMDNS.SYS driver in Symantec Norton Internet Security and Professional 2002 through 2004, Norton Personal Firewall 2002 through 2004, Norton AntiSpam 2004, Client Firewall 5.01 and 5.1.1, and Client Security 1.0 through 2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption from infinite loop) via a DNS response with a compressed name pointer that points to itself.

Multiple vulnerabilities in SYMDNS.SYS for Symantec Norton Internet Security and Professional 2002 through 2004, Norton Personal Firewall 2002 through 2004, Norton AntiSpam 2004, Client Firewall 5.01 and 5.1.1, and Client Security 1.0 through 2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via (1) a manipulated length byte in the first-level decoding routine for NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS) that modifies an index variable and leads to a stack-based buffer overflow, (2) a heap-based corruption problem in an NBNS response that is missing certain RR fields, and (3) a stack-based buffer overflow in the DNS component via a Resource Record (RR) with a long canonical name (CNAME) field composed of many smaller components.

SYMNDIS.SYS in Symantec Norton Internet Security 2003 and 2004, Norton Personal Firewall 2003 and 2004, Client Firewall 5.01 and 5.1.1, and Client Security 1.0 and 1.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a TCP packet with (1) SACK option or (2) Alternate Checksum Data option followed by a length of zero.

Norton Personal Firewall 2002 4.0, when configured to automatically block attacks, allows remote attackers to block IP addresses and cause a denial of service via spoofed packets.

Buffer overflow in HTTP Proxy for Symantec Norton Personal Internet Firewall 3.0.4.91 and Norton Internet Security 2001 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large outgoing HTTP request.
