Also, it doesn't appear that this issue effects the Mac software (at least, I didn't see the Mac products in the Symantec vulnerability list), only Windows products.
if this is a heap overflow and if osx uses a bsd-derived libc (with phy malloc implementation), the vulnerability would not be exploitable. this seems like a probable explanation. -p --- paul galynin
