NOTE: the researcher indicates that a vendor response was received, stating
that this issue 'falls into the work of our Firewall and not our AV
(per our methodology of layers of defense).'";

tag_impact = "Successful exploitation could allow the attackers to bypass the
protection of AntiVirus technology and allows an attacker to drop and execute
known malicious files.

Impact Level: Application";

tag_insight = "Symantec Norton AntiVirus fails to process 'hcp://' URLs by the
Microsoft Help and Support Center, which allows attackers to execute malicious
code via a protocol handler (hcp).";

tag_solution = "No solution or patch was made available for at least one year
since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore.
General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective
features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.";

prone to remote code execution vulnerability.";
