CVE-2010-0106: The on-demand scanning in Symantec AntiVirus 10.0.x and 10.1.x before MR9, AntiVirus 10.2.x, and Client Sec...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can stop legacy Symantec antivirus products from completing on-demand scans when Tamper Protection is disabled. The business issue is reduced assurance: systems may appear protected but cannot perform manual scans needed during incident response, audits, or malware checks. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running the named Symantec endpoint products, especially where Tamper Protection is disabled. Modern replacement products are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize if these legacy Symantec products remain in regulated, incident-response-sensitive, or malware-prone environments. If the organization has fully retired them, this is a historical record rather than an urgent action item. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for the named legacy Symantec products and versions.; Enable Tamper Protection where operationally supported.; Apply Symantec MR9 updates where the affected line states before MR9..
