DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec products,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error in the Intel AMS2 component when processing certain
messages can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via specially
crafted packets sent to TCP port 38292.

2) An error in the Intel AMS2 component when processing certain
messages can be exploited to run arbitrary commands via specially
crafted packets sent to TCP port 38292.

3) An error in the Intel AMS2 component when processing certain
messages can be exploited to create arbitrary events (e.g. launch a
program or send an email) via specially crafted messages sent to TCP
port 38292.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

4) An error in the Intel AMS2 component when processing certain
messages can be exploited to crash the Intel Alert Handler service
via specially crafted packets sent to TCP port 38292.

The vulnerabilities are reported in the following products:
* Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition Server 10.x.
* Symantec System Center 10.x

SOLUTION:
