RISK: Medium Risk

TYPE: Servers - Other Servers

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in various Symantec products, which could be exploited by remote attackers or malicious users to cause a denial of service or take complete control of a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow and input validation errors in the Intel Alert Management System (AMS2) when processing user-supplied packets, which could allow attackers or malicious users to trigger arbitrary events (launching a program, sending an email), shutdown the service, or execute arbitray code.
