      Symantec’s Endpoint Protection product has three zero-day flaws that could allow a logged-in user to move to a higher access level on a computer, according to a penetration testing and training company.

      The three flaws, all known as privilege escalation vulnerabilities, were found during a security test of a financial services company, said Mati Aharoni, lead trainer and developer for Offensive Security, in a phone interview late Tuesday.

      I saw Symantec and knew it would be bad news. Always is.

        Ouch, that's really bad. For a security product to have that kind of vulnerability. Of course, security products are more likely to be attack targets because they have to have higher privileges than most products.

            Symantec Endpoint was in place when I took over as solo IT guy 3 1/2 years and while I've always found Symantec bloated, it has worked well and have just kept it over the years. That said, I had a rash of weird issues with it last week...a lot of calls on people getting alerts for weird html files.

                      I've used Netbackup for years. It is awesome. Used it almost continuously since 2004 at three different companies.

                      I've even built Netbackup RPM packages.
