Norman Virus Control NVCOAFT51.SYS Driver Multiple Vulnerabilities

Norman Virus Control NVCOAFT51.SYS Driver Multiple Vulnerabilities

Norman Virus Control is prone to multiple vulnerabilities including a heap-based kernel memory buffer-overflow issue and multiple input-validation vulnerabilities.

These issues reside in the 'nvcoaft51.sys' driver.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

Norman Virus Control 5.82 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: Other Norman products may also use the affected driver.
