A security flaw in Symantec products is exposing millions of computers to hacking.

Users of any of Norton or Symantec products should update their software immediately. A list of affected products is below.

Google’s Project Zero security team published an analysis of the flaws on its blog, explaining that they are particularly serious in part because they affect the entire Symantec product line.

“These vulnerabilities are as bad as it gets,” they wrote. “They don’t require any user interaction, they affect the default configuration, and the software runs at the highest privilege levels possible. In certain cases on Windows, vulnerable code is even loaded into the kernel, resulting in remote kernel memory corruption.”
