To: [log in to unmask]
> A patched installer for Symantec AntiVirus has been built and is
> ready for testing:
> Managed version:

> This build fixes a recently discovered remote code execution
> vulnerability in the Symantec Antivirus 10.x family of products.
> Details on the vulnerability are available here:
> http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2006.05.25.html
>
> As this is a fairly serious vulnerability, distribution of this
> patched product is important. Your assistance in the testing this
> build will help to ensure a smooth rollout.
>
> Please be aware that SAV 9.x clients do not contain this
> vulnerability. However, SAV 9.x users still are encouraged to
> upgrade. SAV 9.x does not protect against the same range of threats
> as does SAV 10.x.
>
> Also note that SAV 8.x and earlier are end-of-life products. These
> versions offer less-than-adequate protection against current threats.
> An upgrade to SAV 10 is strongly advised.
