Description:
Jakub Moc has reported a vulnerability in McAfee VirusScan Command Line Scanner, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the current working directory being part of the list of directories that are searched for libraries at runtime. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by e.g. creating a malicious shared object and tricking a user into running the scanner in the same directory.
Note: This does not affect the Windows version.
