TITLE: Symantec Norton AntiVirus / LiveUpdate for Macintosh Privilege Escalation

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA17268

VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/17268/

CRITICAL: Less critical

IMPACT: Privilege escalation

WHERE: Local system

SOFTWARE: Symantec Norton Utilities for Macintosh 8.x http://secunia.com/product/5953/ Symantec LiveUpdate for Macintosh 3.x http://secunia.com/product/5954/ Symantec Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh 10.x http://secunia.com/product/5949/ Symantec Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh 9.x http://secunia.com/product/5948/ Symantec Norton Internet Security for Macintosh 3.x http://secunia.com/product/5951/ Symantec Norton Personal Firewall for Macintosh 3.x http://secunia.com/product/5950/ Symantec Norton SystemWorks for Macintosh 3.x http://secunia.com/product/5952/

DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh and Symantec LiveUpdate for Macintosh, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

1) The suid "DiskMountNotify" component of Symantec Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh fails to set its execution path environment. This may be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary commands with System Administrative privileges by modifying the execution path that the component uses to locate system commands.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following versions : * version 9.0.0, 9.0.1 * version 9.0.2 (English, Japanese) * version 9.0.2 Build 5 (French, German, Italian) * version 9.0.3 (English, Japanese) * version 10.0.0, 10.0.1

2) The LiveUpdate component uses a suid command-line application to interface with the Java interpreter. This can be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary Java code with System Administrative privileges using the interface application.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following products: * LiveUpdate for Macintosh versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 * LiveUpdate for Macintosh version 3.0.3 Build 5 (English) * LiveUpdate for Macintosh version 3.0.3 Build 11, 3.5.0 Build 47 * Norton AntiVirus 9.0.x, 10.0.0, 10.0.1 * Norton Personal Firewall 3.0.x, 3.1.0 * Norton Internet Security 3.0.x * Norton Utilities 8.0.x * Norton SystemWorks 3.0.x

SOLUTION: Update to the latest version via Live Update.
