The SmartScan feature in the Auto-Protect module for Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004 and 2005, as also used in Internet Security 2004/2005 and System Works 2004/2005, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and system crash) by renaming a file on a network share.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Symantec antivirus denial-of-service issue. Affected products could consume CPU or crash when handling a renamed file on a network share. Business impact is endpoint instability, not data theft, based on the supplied sources. Exposure is mainly legacy Windows endpoints still running the named Symantec 2004/2005 consumer suites and accessing network shares. Current environments are unlikely exposed unless old unsupported software remains in use. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected products are still deployed. If present on operational systems, prioritize remediation because antivirus crashes can reduce endpoint protection and disrupt users. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for the named Symantec 2004/2005 products.; Check Symantec advisory guidance for updates, configuration changes, or product retirement.; Prioritize removing unsupported antivirus suites from production systems..
