DBManager in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x before DS 6.9 SP4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted request.

The Altiris eXpress NS SC Download ActiveX control in AeXNSPkgDLLib.dll, as used in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x, Notification Server 6.0.x, and Symantec Management Platform 7.0.x exposes an unsafe method, which allows remote attackers to force the download of arbitrary files and possibly execute arbitrary code via the DownloadAndInstall method.

Buffer overflow in the RunCmd method in the Altiris eXpress NS Console Utilities ActiveX control in AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll in the web console in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x, Altiris Notification Server 6.0.x, and Management Platform 7.0.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the second argument.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the BrowseAndSaveFile method in the Altiris eXpress NS ConsoleUtilities ActiveX control 6.0.0.1846 in AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll in Symantec Altiris Notification Server (NS) 6.0 before R12, Deployment Server 6.8 and 6.9 in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 SP3, and Symantec Management Platform (SMP) 7.0 before SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the second argument.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown client-side attack vectors, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 7.17, as identified by (1) "Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 exploit, (2) "Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 exploit (II)," and (3) "Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 exploit (III)." NOTE: as of 20090909, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the VulnDisco Pack author is a reliable researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Unspecified vulnerability in mm.exe in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown attack vectors, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 7.18, "Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9 DoS." NOTE: as of 20090909, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the VulnDisco Pack author is a reliable researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x before 6.9 SP3 Build 430 does not properly restrict access to the listening port for the DBManager service, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and modify tasks or the Altiris Database via a connection to this service.

Unspecified vulnerability in the AClient agent in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x before 6.9 SP3 Build 430, when key-based authentication is being used between a deployment server and a client, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM by spoofing the deployment server and sending "alternate commands" before the handshake is completed.

Race condition in the file transfer functionality in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x before 6.9 SP3 Build 430 allows remote attackers to read sensitive files and prevent client updates by connecting to the file transfer port before the expected client does.

The Aclient GUI in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x before 6.9 SP3 Build 430 installs a client executable with insecure permissions (Everyone:Full Control), which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing the executable with a Trojan horse program.
