CVE-2017-13676: Norton Remove & Reinstall can be susceptible to a DLL preloading vulnerability.

Norton Remove & Reinstall can be susceptible to a DLL preloading vulnerability. These types of issues occur when an application looks to call a DLL for execution and an attacker provides a malicious DLL to use instead. Depending on how the application is configured, it will generally follow a specific search path to locate the DLL. The vulnerability can be exploited by a simple file write (or potentially an over-write) which results in a foreign DLL running under the context of the application. A Norton Remove & Reinstall update, version 4.4.0.58, has been released which addresses the aforementioned vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Norton Remove & Reinstall versions before 4.4.0.58 could load an attacker-supplied DLL instead of the intended library. If an attacker can place or overwrite a DLL where the tool searches, their code may run with the tool’s privileges. Exposure is limited to environments with Norton Remove & Reinstall installed or retained in software repositories at versions earlier than 4.4.0.58. Treat this as a targeted endpoint hygiene issue, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize removal or update of old utility copies because exploitation could turn local file-write access into application-context code execution. Mitigation focus: Update Norton Remove & Reinstall to version 4.4.0.58 or later.; Remove old copies from endpoint management shares and software repositories.; Check current Symantec/Norton guidance for any superseding remediation advice..
