The advisory indicates that hotfixes are available at:  seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/289283.htm

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) initiative has assigned CVE Candidate CVE-2007-3509 to this issue. This issue is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list  cve.mitre.org , which standardizes names for security problems.

In order to fully execute this vulnerability the user must have administrative privileges.  Again another good reason to restrict user access whenever possible.

 

There is also an advisory from Secunia containing information about 2 vulnerabilities that exist in various Symantec products including  Internet Security and Brightmail.  Again to fully execute the user must have administrative privileges.
