Description:
Yuu Arai has discovered a vulnerability in Norton AntiVirus 2004, which can be exploited by malicious people to perform various actions on a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient input validation in an ActiveX control used by the application. This can be exploited by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a malicious website.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code already residing on a user's system, launching an unauthorised URL (pop-up) on the system, or causing Norton AntiVirus to stop responding.
