Re: Secunia PSI Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Secunia PSI is not associated with any file types and does not support
opening of HTML files nor any other files. Furthermore, the application
does not load Schannel.dll.

Secunia PSI is therefore not vulnerable to the "Insecure Library
Loading" vulnerability.

Stay Secure,
