“vulnerable [...only tested on!] Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2003 Professional Edition; Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002. While having a virus scan [automatic/manual] of some specially crafted compressed files; NAV triggers a DoS using 100% CPU for a very long time. Morover, NAV is unable to stop the scan in middle, even if the user wishes to manually stop the virus scan. Then, in this situation the only alternate is to kill the process.”
