Hi Rafel,

We have analysed the reported vulnerabilities in the Symantec, McAfee
and Panda controls installed by their online scanners.

It appears that your conclusions for Symantec and McAfee are incorrect.
Following your examples seems to only cause null-pointer dereferences
and can therefore only be exploited to crash a browser.

However, the Panda issue is an exploitable heap overflow.

If you have any other information regarding Symantec and McAfee, which
proves that a buffer overflow exists then please publish this.
