Oh great – I was just extolling the virtue (or lack) of our firewall(s) in the office/remote pc’s and then there’s a Symantec Client Firewall Remote Access and Denial of Service Issues posted in Lockergnome’s Tech News Watch. Going to have fun looking at that one tomorrow!.
Update After waiting 15 minutes on hold, apparently the problem does not affect the corporate Enterprise VPN client – only the firewalls sold with antivirus type products – phew! As it turns out there is a culmalative patch available for the firewall anyway so I downloaded this instead.
