VULHUB ™

An issue exists in Sony's VAIO pre-installed software which could allow a remote user full control of the user's system. This is acheived if a user accesses a maliciously crafted web page or receives a maliciously crafted HTML email or HTML file as an email attachment. Further technical details are not available at this time. It should be noted that all VAIO personal computers with "VAIO Manual CyberSupport for VAIO" pre-installed and sold in Japan from May 2001 are vulnerable.
