Description:
Tobias Klein has reported some vulnerabilities in Panda products, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerabilities affect the following products:
* Panda Internet Security 2008
* Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2008

Solution:
Apply hotfix.
