Antivirus insecurity at Black Hat
Warning that the popularity of antivirus software could turn the defensive
measure into a security risk, security researchers plan to outline
vulnerabilities in antivirus products on stage at the Black Hat Briefings
conference that kicks off today in Las Vegas. "We're going to show that it is
a credible threat and demonstrate exploits," said Neel Mehta of Internet
Security System. In the past year, ISS has discovered bugs in products from
security software makers Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro and F-Secure.
