SOFTWARE:
Symantec Web Security 3.x

Symantec Web Security 2.x

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Web Security,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks or to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error when handling large files can be exploited to cause the
system to slow down by using the license registering interface to
submit a very large file.

2) Input passed to certain parameters in unspecified files is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user when displaying
certain pages. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and
script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.0.1.85.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.1.85.
