DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Support Tool ActiveX
Control included in various Symantec products, which 
potentially can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose system information 
or to
compromise a vulnerable system.

exploited to gain unauthorized access to system information.
