Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in various Symantec products, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error within the Symantec Decomposer component when handling CAB archives can be exploited to cause a heap corruption via a specially crafted CAB archive.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) An input validation error within the Symantec Decomposer component when handling RAR archives can be exploited to cause an infinite loop via a RAR archive with a specially crafted header containing a forged PACK_SIZE field.
