FKIE_CVE-2010-3497

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2012-08-22 10:42 - Updated: 2025-04-11 00:51
Severity ?
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)."
