Description:
A vulnerability has been discovered in McAfee VirusScan, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is related to:
SA12869
Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into updating the virus definition file from a malicious site.
