CVE-2010-3497 (GCVE-0-2010-3497)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2012-08-22 10:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 22:15
VLAI
Summary
Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2011 does not properly interact with the processing of hcp:// URLs by the Microsoft Help and Support Center, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malware that is correctly detected by this product, but with a detection approach that occurs too late to stop the code execution. NOTE: the researcher indicates that a vendor response was received, stating that this issue "falls into the work of our Firewall and not our AV (per our methodology of layers of defense)."
