Descriptions

Norton prior to 22.15; Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) prior to 12.1.7454.7000 & 14.2; Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE) prior to NIS-22.15.1.8 & SEP-12.1.7454.7000; and Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud (SEP Cloud) prior to 22.15.1 may be susceptible to an AV bypass issue, which is a type of exploit that works to circumvent one of the virus detection engines to avoid a specific type of virus protection. One of the antivirus engines depends on a signature pattern from a database to identify malicious files and viruses; the antivirus bypass exploit looks to alter the file being scanned so it is not detected.

Norton en versiones anteriores a la 22.15; Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) en versiones anteriores a la 12.1.7454.7000 14.2; Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE) en versiones anteriores a la NIS-22.15.1.8 SEP-12.1.7454.7000; y Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud (SEP Cloud) en versiones anteriores a la 22.15.1 puede ser susceptible a un problema de omisión de antivirus, que es un tipo de explotación que sirve para eludir uno de los motores de detección de virus y así evitar un tipo de protección antivirus específico. Uno de los motores antivirus depende de un patrón de firma de una base de datos para identificar archivos maliciosos y virus; la explotación de omisión de antivirus busca alterar el archivo que se está analizando para que no sea detectado.
