New Exploit Resists Windows Security Software
,----[ Quote ]
| "This is definitely very serious," said
| Alfred Huger, vice president of
| engineering at Immunet, a Palo Alto,
| Calif.-based antivirus company. "Probably
| any security product running on Windows XP
| can be exploited this way." Huger added
| that Immunet's desktop client is not
| vulnerable to the argument-switch attacks
| because the company's software uses a
| different method to hook into the Windows
| kernel.
|
| According to Matousec, nearly three-dozen
| Windows desktop security titles, including
| ones from Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro,
| BitDefender, Sophos and others, can be
| exploited using the argument-switch
| tactic. Matousec said it had tested the
| technique on Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1
| on 32-bit machines.
