Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Sergio Alvarez has reported some vulnerabilities in the NOD32 Antivirus engine, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An integer-overflow error within the parsing of DOC files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted DOC file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) An integer-overflow error within the parsing of CAB archives can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted CAB archive.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

3) A division-by-zero error within the parsing of CHM files can be exploited to cause a DoS via a specially crafted CHM file.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.1743.
