Description |
Symantec Norton AntiVirus contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to bypass antivirus policies. The issue is triggered when changing the file name in the "Content-Type:" header to a different than the actual file type listed in the "Content-Disposition:" header, which would remain undetected by the incoming email protection feature. It is possible that the flaw may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
