Descriptions

HDNLRSVC.EXE in the Intel Alert Handler service (aka Symantec Intel Handler service) in Intel Alert Management System (aka AMS or AMS2), as used in Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (SAVCE) 10.x before 10.1 MR10, Symantec System Center (SSC) 10.x, and Symantec Quarantine Server 3.5 and 3.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs by sending msgsys.exe a UNC share pathname, which is used directly in a CreateProcessA (aka CreateProcess) call.

HDNLRSVC.EXE en el servicio Intel Alert Handler (también conocido como servicio Symantec Intel Handler) en Intel Alert Management System (también conocido como AMS o AMS2) como el utilizado en Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (SAVCE) v10.x anterior a v10.1 MR10, Symantec System Center (SSC) v10.x, y Symantec Quarantine Server v3.5 y v3.6, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar programas de su eleeción enviando msgsys.exe a una ruta de acceso compartido UNC que es usada directamente en la llamada CreateProcessA (también conocido como CreateProcess).

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of multiple Symantec products. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Intel Alert Originator (iao.exe) service. While processing messages sent from the msgsys.exe process a size check can be bypassed and a subsequent stack-based buffer overflow can be triggered. This can be leveraged by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code under the context of the Alert service.
