Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in various Sophos Anti-Virus products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when unpacking Microsoft Cabinet files (.CAB). This can be exploited to corrupt heap memory when a specially crafted Cabinet file with an invalid folder count in the CAB header is scanned.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that Cabinet file inspection is enabled.
