CVE-2018-5235

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Norton Utilities versions prior to 16.0.3.44

Description The issue is related to a DLL Preloading vulnerability. This type of vulnerability occurs when an application looks to call a DLL for execution and an attacker provides a malicious DLL to use instead. The application follows a specific search path to locate the DLL, which can be exploited by a simple file write or potentially an over-write, resulting in a foreign DLL running under the context of the application.

Recommendations For versions prior to 16.0.3.44, update to version 16.0.3.44 or later to resolve the issue.
