Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of Symantec Antivirus allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a malicious executable in a specially crafted RAR file with malformed central and local headers, which can still be opened by products such as Winrar and PowerZip, even though they are rejected as corrupted by Winzip and BitZipper.

Integer signedness error in the administrative interface for Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.0 and 4.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP headers with negative values, which lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Multiple Symantec AntiVirus products, including Norton AntiVirus 2005 11.0.0, Web Security Web Security 3.0.1.72, Mail Security for SMTP 4.0.5.66, AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.3.7.27, SAV/Filter for Domino NT 3.1.1.87, and Mail Security for Exchange 4.5.4.743, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (component crash) and avoid detection via a crafted RAR file.

The LiveUpdate capability (liveupdate.sh) in Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.0 and 4.3 for Red Hat Linux allows local users to create or append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/LiveUpdate.log.
