CVE-2006-6496: The (1) VetMONNT.sys and (2) VetFDDNT.sys drivers in CA Anti-Virus 2007 8.1, Anti-Virus for Vista Beta 8.2,...

The (1) VetMONNT.sys and (2) VetFDDNT.sys drivers in CA Anti-Virus 2007 8.1, Anti-Virus for Vista Beta 8.2, and CA Internet Security Suite 2007 v3.0 do not properly handle NULL buffers, which allows local users with administrative access to cause a denial of service (system crash) via certain IOCTLs.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy CA antivirus driver flaw that can crash a Windows system. It requires local administrative access, so it is not a typical remote takeover risk. Business impact is endpoint availability, especially where old CA 2007 products remain installed on critical or shared machines. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Windows endpoints still running CA Anti-Virus 2007 8.1, Anti-Virus for Vista Beta 8.2, or CA Internet Security Suite 2007 v3.0 with the named drivers installed. Treat as a legacy hygiene and availability issue. It is not evidenced as actively exploited, but any affected installation is old security software running kernel drivers and should be removed or upgraded promptly. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for the affected CA product names and versions.; Check CA advisory ID 34870 and vendor guidance for supported remediation.; Upgrade or remove unsupported legacy CA antivirus installations..
