What this means for your business

  • Code showing how to exploit it has been published, but real attacks have not been confirmed.
  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Immunix, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, apply the vendor's fix. A patch or vendor advisory has been published.
