Norton software flaw affects nearly all products
Thursday, 10 February 2005

The Register is reporting that Secunia has discovered a highly critical flaw in many Norton anti-virus products. In fact, all Norton 2004 products, both home & enterprise, are affected. I'm sure glad we don't use Norton around here. Fats, sounds like you're going to have a busy day today. Good luck with that. Grab the updates here.

"The vulnerability stems from a flaw in an antivirus scanning component (called the DEC2EXE parsing engine) involving the processing of UPX compressed files. Maliciously constructed UPX files could be created to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This in turn makes it possible for malicious hackers to inject hostile code onto vulnerable systems, allowing them to be taken over by attackers."
