Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Support Tool ActiveX Control included in various Symantec products, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to disclose system information or to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An unspecified input validation error exists, which can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to system information.

2) An unspecified boundary error exist, which can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and may allow execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the browser.

Successful exploitation requires spoofing of a trusted domain web site and to trick the user to click on a malicious link.

* Symantec Automated Support Assistant
