Symantec vulnerability update

Symantec has released patches for the security vulnerability in Symantec
Anti-Virus announced on Friday. These patches must be installed on each
workstation running Symantec Anti-virus v10.x (including Symantec Client
Security 3.x) to protect against this vulnerability. To make sure the
updates are applied and to get the benefits of the latest version of
Symantec, we are recommending the following actions:

  1) Go to http://software.berkeley.edu/windows/scs3/current/
  2) Download and install the SCS 3.1 desktop client
  3) Download and install MP1 for 3.1
  4) Download and install PP1 for SCS 3.1 MP1

For system administrators:
We recommend that you upgrade all Symantec clients to 3.1 and apply the
appropriate patches. However, if you wish to stay at your current
version of Symantec, you can find the appropriate patches for your
version number at
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/enterprise/products/sym_client_security/scs_3/files.html.

Please make sure you apply the appropriate patches in the correct order
for your version of Symantec. We are working on developing tools to aid
in the distribution of patches to large numbers of workstations, so
watch for further updates.

Please help us get the word out to the campus community. There are still
no exploits out based on this vulnerability and with your help we want
to get campus users protected before the exploits are released.

Thank you,
