Discussion

Symantec pcAnywhere Session Closure Access Violation Vulnerability

Symantec pcAnywhere is prone to a vulnerability that may allow an attacker to connect to a valid client session.

The problem occurs when the client handles certain unexpected input from the server. This can cause the server connection to drop, but leaving the client session open. A man-in-the-middle attacker may be able to exploit this condition to connect to the client session. This may aid in further attacks.
