I would like to add that Symantec has been notified by myself, and should
already have been aware of an issue due to another Bugtraq post on POProxy
and the potential for a DoS attack.

Cheers,
Nick

This was going to be w00giving #11 (w00giving #10 will be posted within
the next few days).  Anyway, this allows EIP to be overwritten with 265+
bytes, which person who posted this vulnerability failed to mention or
failed to notice.  It's unclear if he labeled it as a DoS because he
didn't realize it overwrote EIP or because he was unable to produce an
exploit.  We have not had a chance to write an exploit and we will also
try to do that within the next few days.
