Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in various Symantec products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error within an ActiveX control (SYMADATA.DLL) included in the AutoFix Support Tool can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.

2) A design error in the same ActiveX control can be exploited to e.g. load and execute arbitrary code from a remote share.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that the attacker e.g. conducts DNS poisoning or cross-site scripting attacks as the ActiveX control is site-locked and can only be scripted from a trusted domain.

The vulnerabilities affect the following products:
* Norton 360 1.0
* Norton AntiVirus 2006-2008
* Norton Internet Security2006-2008
* Norton System Works 2006-2008
