Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that the attacker e.g. conducts DNS poisoning or cross-site scripting attacks as the ActiveX control is site-locked and can only be scripted from a trusted domain. The vulnerabilities affect the following products: * Norton 360 1.0 * Norton AntiVirus 2006-2008 * Norton Internet Security2006-2008 * Norton System Works 2006-2008 SOLUTION: Apply updates. https://www-secure.symantec.com/techsupp/asa/install.jsp PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: The vendor credits Peter Vreugdenhill and an anonymous person, both reported via iDefense Labs.
