RETIRED:Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 SymEvent Driver Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Norton Personal Firewall 2006 is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue occurs when attackers send malformed data to the 'SymEvent' driver.

A local authenticated attacker may exploit this issue to crash affected computers, denying service to legitimate users.

This issue is reportedly a regression from the vulnerability described in BID 20051 (Symantec Multiple Products SymEvent Driver Local Denial of Service Vulnerability). Symantec is currently investigating this issue; this BID will be updated as more information becomes available.

NOTE: This BID is being retired because it is already covered in BID 20051.
