Description:
NGSSoftware has discovered a vulnerability in Norton Internet Security 2004, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The "LaunchURL" method in the "WrapNISUM Class" (WrapUM.dll) ActiveX component makes it possible to run arbitrary executables from remote locations. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a user's system by tricking the user into viewing a malicious HTML document (e.g. by visiting a website or viewing an HTML-based email).
