Multiple Symantec Products NavComUI ActiveX Control code execution
| symantec-navcomui-code-execution (35944) |  High Risk |

Multiple Symantec products could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper handling of the "AnomalyList" and "Anomaly" properties by the AxSysListView32 and AxSysListView32OAA ActiveX controls (NavComUI.dll). By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system with the privileges of the victim or cause a denial of service.
