CVE reference:	CVE-2006-3961

Description: eEye Digital Security has reported a vulnerability in various McAfee products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the SecurityCenter Subscription Manager ActiveX control (McSubMgr.dll). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string (more than 3000 bytes) to e.g. the IsAppExpired ActiveX member. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious web site. The vulnerability affects versions 4.3 through 6.0.22. Solution: Update to SecurityCenter 6.0.23 or later. http://us.mcafee.com/root/login.asp Provided and/or discovered by: Karl Lynn, eEye Digital Security.
