A major component of the Symantec Antivirus scan engine is the "Decomposer", responsible for unpacking various archive formats such as ZIP, RAR, and so on. The decomposer runs as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows, and root on Linux and Mac. Simple fuzzing of zip archives discovered missing bounds checks in the routine ALPkOldFormatDecompressor::UnShrink, used to decode Zip archives. 

The routine uses a 16bit value read from the file to index a 256 element array without any bounds checking, the attached testcase should demonstrate this reliably. I have verified this on the following products:

    Norton Antivirus, Windows
    Symantec Endpoint Protection, Linux and Windows
    Symantec Scan Engine, Linux and Windows
