Critical Symantec AntiVirus Vulnerability
News came last week that a high-risk buffer overflow vulnerability in Symantec’s AntiVirus Library could lead to code execution attacks when RAR archive files are scanned. Important to note in this situation, is that this affects all versions of Symantec Antivirus, including those for Mac OS X.
Symantec has created a page which lists all vulnerable products along with instructions for dealing with problems until they are able to create and release a software patch.
