| David, the information is more than a month old on the Symantec site.

| Does your post indicate that there is something new involved?


Nope. But it does itemize the versions.

For example, I was running 10.1.0.400. That has been "patched" and now
I'm running 10.1.0.401, which is not vulnerable. There are patches for
the other products listed, as well.

What is "Symantec client security" ?

Does being behind a NAT router mitigate this vulnerability?

Does any version of corporate edition 9.x have this vulnerability?

What about NAV?

Well then if you meant NO, then why didn't you say it?

Doesn't it take fewer keystrokes to say "NO" than to be an ass and

Has anyone had any success or failure with implementation of these
patches?

While performing several installs of 10.0.2.2002 (to update
10.0.2.2000), it seems to kill the service. It stops listening on port
2967 and shows as offline in the Symantec System Center.
