Symantec's Antivirus Scan Engine Vulnerability!

According to this security response:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2005.10.04.html

The AV scan engine has a vulnerability in the Web-based administrative
interface, which doesn't properly validate input provided through HTTP
requests.
If an attacker can gain access to the computers administrative interface on
TCP port 8004, they might be able to launch arbitrary code and gain
privileged access to your system

Check out the link for the versions it affects.

A fix is available from here:
