> DESCRIPTION:
> Will Dorman has reported a vulnerability in Norton Personal Firewall,
> which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's

> ISAlertDataCOM ActiveX control (ISLAlert.dll) when handling the
> "Set()" and "Get()" methods. This can be exploited to cause a
> stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long argument.
> 
> Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
