Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Symantec Norton Ghost version 14.0

Description: The issue concerns insecure methods in the Symantec.EasySetup.1 ActiveX control within the EasySetupInt.dll.

The methods affected include (1) GetBackupLocationPath, (2) CallUninstall, (3) SetupDeleteVolume, (4) CanUseEasySetup, (5) CallAddInitialProtection, and (6) CallTour.

Recommendations: For Symantec Norton Ghost version 14.0, consider disabling the affected methods (GetBackupLocationPath, CallUninstall, SetupDeleteVolume, CanUseEasySetup, CallAddInitialProtection, CallTour) in the EasySetupInt.dll until a patch is available. Restrict access to the EasySetup wizard to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
