The GetStringAMSHandler function in prgxhndl.dll in hndlrsvc.exe in the Intel Alert Handler service (aka Symantec Intel Handler service) in Intel Alert Management System (AMS), as used in Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.1.4.4010 on Windows 2000 SP4 and Symantec Endpoint Protection before 11.x, does not properly validate the CommandLine field of an AMS request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted request.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old remote denial-of-service flaw in a Symantec/Intel alert handling service. A vulnerable endpoint security component can crash when it receives a malformed AMS request. The known impact is service/application availability, not data theft or remote code execution, based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in legacy Windows environments still running Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.1.4.4010 on Windows 2000 SP4 or Symantec Endpoint Protection versions before 11.x. Modern supported endpoint platforms are not identified as affected in the supplied bundle. Prioritize remediation if legacy Symantec endpoint software remains in production, especially on reachable Windows servers or critical workstations. The business risk is disruption of endpoint security service availability rather than confirmed compromise. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire affected legacy Symantec endpoint products.; Review the Symantec advisory for vendor-supported fixes or upgrade paths.; Upgrade to a supported endpoint protection version where feasible..
