Serious flaw found in three Symantec products

Security vendor eEye has released basic details about a vulnerability in Symantec products that would permit the execution of a severe denial-of-service attack.

Another flaw discovered recently, in products sold by Internet Security Systems, could lead to the compromise of default installations of the affected software, eEye said.

The severity of both vulnerabilities has been rated high by eEye.

The company said the remotely-exploitable flaw in the Symantec products would let an anonymous attacker carry out the attack against systems running default installations of the affected software.

The products listed as affected were Norton Internet Security 2004, Norton Internet Security 2004 Professional and Norton Personal Firewall 2004.

Information about the vulnerability was conveyed to Symantec on March 9.
