VULHUB ™

Norton Anti-Virus 2000 is a widely used commercial anti-virus application. POProxy is its integral e-mail scanner, which is implemented by selecting 'e-mail protection'. POProxy behaves as a proxy for a POP server, listening on port 110. When users request their email, the request is proxied through POProxy and all mail passing through it is scanned for viruses. If an attacker sends a packet containing 269 or more characters then poproxy.exe will crash. It may be possible for attackers to execute arbitrary code.
