Hi Rafel, We have analysed the reported vulnerabilities in the Symantec, McAfee and Panda controls installed by their online scanners. It appears that your conclusions for Symantec and McAfee are incorrect. Following your examples seems to only cause null-pointer dereferences and can therefore only be exploited to crash a browser. However, the Panda issue is an exploitable heap overflow. If you have any other information regarding Symantec and McAfee, which proves that a buffer overflow exists then please publish this. -- Kind regards, Thomas Kristensen CTO Secunia Toldbodgade 37B 1253 Copenhagen K Denmark Tlf.: +45 7020 5144 Fax: +45 7020 5145 Free Virus Alerts via Email http://secunia.com/secunia_virus_alerts/ Secunia Virus Information http://secunia.com/virus_information/ Free Secunia Advisories via Email http://secunia.com/secunia_security_advisories/ Secunia Advisories http://secunia.com/advisories/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
