It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-5829 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-2007-5829/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5829/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-5829","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5829/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-5829","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h32x-cwv5-64xp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Mac antivirus software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local administrators can gain root privileges by replacing files in a weakly protected directory when a disk is inserted with specific scan options enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"norton_antivirus","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_internet_security","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The Disk Mount scanner in Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh 9.x and 10.x, Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh 10.0 and 10.1, and Norton Internet Security for Macintosh 3.x, uses a directory with weak permissions (group writable), which allows local admin users to gain root privileges by replacing unspecified files, which are executed when a user with physical access inserts a disk and the \"Show Progress During Mount Scans\" option is enabled.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5829","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:norton_antivirus","products":["symantec:norton_antivirus"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5830"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5828"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-11-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-08-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-06-03"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3456","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2206","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-16"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1774","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1775","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-21"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1776","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-21"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local administrators can gain root privileges by replacing files in a weakly protected directory when a disk is inserted with specific scan options enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5829/"}
