Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|

F-Prot Antivirus version 4.6.7 fixes a heap-based buffer overflow, an |

infinite loop, and other unspecified vulnerabilities. |

|

Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
Among other weaker impacts, a remote attacker could send an e-mail |
46 |
containing a malicious file that would trigger the buffer overflow |
47 |
vulnerability and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
48 |
user running F-Prot, which may be the root user. |

|
50 |
Workaround |

========== |

There is no known workaround at this time. |

Resolution |
56 |
========== |
