Description:
Will Dorman has reported a vulnerability in Norton Personal Firewall, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the ISAlertDataCOM ActiveX control (ISLAlert.dll) when handling the "Set()" and "Get()" methods. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long argument.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
Solution:
Product updates to correct the problem are available through LiveUpdate.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Will Dormann, CERT/CC.
