TITLE:
Symantec Products Client Proxy ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38651

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38651/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in some Symantec products, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Symantec
Client Proxy ActiveX control (CLIproxy.dll).  This can be exploited
to cause a buffer overflow e.g. when a user visits a specially
crafted web page passing an overly long argument to the
"SetRemoteComputerName()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in Symantec AntiVirus 10.0.x, 10.1.x,
and 10.2.x and Symantec Client Security 3.0.x and 3.1.x.
