CVE-2002-1774: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2002-1774: NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor.

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002 allows remote attackers to send viruses that bypass the e-mail scanning via a NULL character in the MIME header before the virus. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, acknowledging that the initial scan is bypassed, but the AutoProtect feature would detect the virus before it is executed

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-1774 concerns a reported Norton AntiVirus 2002 e-mail scanning bypass. The vendor disputed the practical impact, saying the initial mail scan could be bypassed but AutoProtect would detect the virus before execution. There is no CVSS score and no KEV listing. Exposure is likely limited to legacy environments still running Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2002 with e-mail scanning enabled. The source bundle does not identify current supported products, CPEs, or affected version ranges beyond the historical product description. Treat this as a legacy-risk validation item, not an emergency, unless Norton AntiVirus 2002 still exists in the environment. Unsupported endpoint security on mail-exposed hosts should be retired or isolated. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining Norton AntiVirus 2002 installations or archived systems using it.; Check Symantec or successor vendor guidance for historical updates and product support status.; Ensure endpoint real-time protection is enabled where this legacy product remains in use..
