Symantec Norton Antivirus LiveUpdate DoS Vulnerability
Symantec's Norton Antivirus contains a feature called LiveUpdate. LiveUpdate is a process that checks for new virus definitions over the internet, downloads and installs them from a Symantec site. This process can either be scheduled or performed manually. It is possible for a remote user to cause LiveUpdate to redirect a download from a site of his/her choice. Therefore, a remote host could send an unusually large file as the update, potentially causing a denial of services on the target system. |
