What is CVE-2006-0166?

Symantec Norton SystemWorks and SystemWorks Premier 2005 and 2006 contain a vulnerability that manifests through the storage of temporary files in the hidden Norton Protected Recycle Bin NProtect directory. This design flaw permits remote attackers to conceal arbitrary files, rendering them invisible to virus scanners and other security applications. As a result, malicious content may evade detection, potentially leading to further exploitation.
