Symantec Patches Security Hole in Record Time

Only 48 hours after eEye Digital Security reported a “gaping hole” in Symantec’s enterprise products, Symantec has patched the flaw. The flaw was described as a stack overflow affecting the Symantec Client Security and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, two enterprise level products.
“Exploiting this overflow successfully could potentially cause a system crash, or allow a remote or local attacker to execute arbitrary code with system-level rights on the affected system,” it added.
The company’s advisory is a confirmation of eEye’s earlier warning that the flaw could lead to a self-propagating worm without any user action. Source: eWeek
We Say: Interestingly, it appears Symantec fixed the flaw before it even officially acknowledged it.
