It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2006-4855 exists.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Norton Antivirus. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4855/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4855/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-4855","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4855/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-4855","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-76wv-4mx9-c373"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can crash the system by sending invalid data to the SymEvent driver in various Symantec security products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"client_security","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"host_ids","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_antivirus","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_internet_security","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_personal_firewall","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_system_works","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"pcanywhere","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The \\Device\\SymEvent driver in Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.0.33, and other versions of Norton Personal Firewall, Internet Security, AntiVirus, SystemWorks, Symantec Client Security SCS 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, and 3.1, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition SAVCE 8.x, 9.x, 10.0, and 10.1, Symantec pcAnywhere 11.5 only, and Symantec Host, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via invalid data, as demonstrated by calling DeviceIoControl to send the data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-09-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-09-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"28588","stars":null,"title":"Symantec (Multiple Products) - 'SymEvent' Driver Local Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4855","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:norton_antivirus","products":["symantec:norton_antivirus"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":16,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4856"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4853"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-09-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2630","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-05-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0107","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-23"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3095","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-06-06"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-06-05"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3454","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-14"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3673","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-07-15"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-07-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can crash the system by sending invalid data to the SymEvent driver in various Symantec security products.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4855/"}
