Symantec patches AntiVirus
Symantec has patched a security hole which it found in its anti-virus software.
The vulnerability exists in the Windows version of the Symantec Antivirus component which tests RAR files for viruses.
Symantec has said that the security consequences of the hole are small. All it does is cause the decomposer component to crash when a unique RAR file is received for decomposing and scanning.
