| Congressional Representative Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: California Dreamin Posts: 3,207 Points: 20,103, Level: 89 | Level up: 51%, 247 Points needed |  |  Serious Flaw Hits Symantec AntiVirus Security research firm eEye warned Thursday that a high-risk vulnerability exists within Symantec's Norton AntiVirus 10.x that could allow for code execution. According to an advisory posted on eEye's Web site, the flaw does not require any user interaction to be exploited.
Especially troubling is the fact that that after the vulnerability is exploited, a hacker gains access to a command shell. This means that the attacker would be able to perform just about any action, and opens up the possibility of a worm automatically infecting systems. http://www.betanews.com/article/Seri...rus/1148661430 |
