1) Word From Secunia:
The Secunia staff is spending hours every day to assure you the best
and most reliable source for vulnerability information. Every single
vulnerability report is being validated and verified before a Secunia
advisory is written.
Secunia validates and verifies vulnerability reports in many different
ways e.g. by downloading the software and performing comprehensive
tests, by reviewing source code, or by validating the credibility of
the source from which the vulnerability report was issued.
As a result, Secunia's database is the most correct and complete source
for recent vulnerability information available on the Internet.

2) This Week in Brief:
ADVISORIES:
Apple issued updates for the Mac OS X on Friday (21-05-2004) to fix
the HELP URI handler vulnerability. However, the update from Apple did
not correct the "disk" vulnerability. This unfortunately leaves users
of the Mac OS X just as vulnerable to attacks as before the update was
issued.
Secunia has described the vulnerability in detail along with mitigating
steps. See referenced Secunia Advisory below.

--
Yuu Arai has discovered a vulnerability in Symantec Norton AntiVirus
ActiveX Control, which can be exploited by malicious websites to
execute code that already resides on the affected user's system or
cause the application to stop responding.
Symantec has issued an updated version, which is available via the
LiveUpdate feature.

F-Secure has reported a buffer overflow vulnerability in many of
their products, which reportedly can be exploited to perform a Denial
of Service attack.
The buffer overflow will occur when processing specially crafted LHA
archives.
