A few things to catch up on this afternoon, but first up is a Serious vulnerability in Symantec Antivirus. (It’s always serious when security software has a vulnerability.) The securityfix is reporting that a vulnerability has been discovered in the way Symantec deals with rar archived files. A specially made rar archive could make a hidden virus or worm in the archive run. It could be exploited remotely, in other words, as Symantec scans the file/attachments in email, the specially crafted rar file could make Symantec run the enclosed bug.
