DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in various
Symantec products, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors in the AxSysListView32
and AxSysListView32OAA ActiveX controls (NavComUI.dll) when handling
the "AnomalyList" and "Anomaly" properties respectively as they take
a VARIANT* as argument.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

the following versions are affected:
* Norton AntiVirus 2006
* Norton Internet Security 2006
