An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-5403 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2006-5403/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5403/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-5403","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5403/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-5403","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-crr9-5rqj-fxgq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec security software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Stack-based buffer overflow in Symantec ActiveX control allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"automated_support_assistant","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_antivirus","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_internet_security","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_system_works","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in an ActiveX control used in Symantec Automated Support Assistant, as used in Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works 2005 and 2006, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5403","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:norton_antivirus","products":["symantec:norton_antivirus"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5404"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5402"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-10-19","related":[{"cvss_score":2.6,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5404","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-10-19"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Stack-based buffer overflow in Symantec ActiveX control allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5403/"}
