Description:
Sergio Alvarez has reported a vulnerability in BitDefender Anti-Virus, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow within the AntiVirus engine when parsing certain packed PE files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PE file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
