Another vendor threat

A fourth security vendor website has been found to be insecure. In a post on hackersblog.org, a Romanian hacker, whose alias is "Unu," describes an insecure parameter in the Symantec Document Download Center that is vulnerable to SQL injection. The flaw supposedly exists on an SSL login page and permits access to company databases. According to the hacker, Symantec has been contacted but has not yet responded. The same hacker claimed to gain access to Kaspersky, F-Secure and BitDefender websites. — CAM
