Vulnerability from variot

The client for Symantec Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition 7.5.x before 7.5.1 Build 62 and 7.6.x before 7.6.1 Build 35a runs winhlp32 with raised privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by using certain features of winhlp32. Applications or Services that call the Windows Help function in an insecure manner may allow a user unauthorized access to resrouces on the system. Applications or Services that call the Windows Help function in an insecure manner may allow a user unauthorized access to resrouces on the system. This issue may occur in applications or services where the Help function is not called in a secure manner. An example of this is when Anti-virus software or a personal firewall is running on the local system with the privileges of an administrator on the local system, and has an interface to "communicate" with the user. ISIHARA Takanori reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.A user may gain unauthorized access to resources on the system
