DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam,
which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to a static database administration
password, which can be exploited to gain administrative access to the
database containing quarantined messages for review and certain
configuration information (only version 6.0 and later).

NOTE: In version 6.0, administrative access was restricted to
localhost. However, this restriction is not present on systems prior
to this version and is also not imposed on prior versions upgraded to
version 6.0 without a clean install.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.0.2.
