APP: Norton Anti-Virus Enterprise Web OverFlow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Norton Antivirus Enterprise (NAV). A successful attack can cause a stack overflow causing a denial-of-service condition or arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Web-based administrative interface of the Symantec Antivirus Scan Engine. This issue is due to improper bound checking of user-supplied data prior to copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application. This allows remote attackers to gain privileged remote access to computers running the affected application.
