Description:
IBM X-Force has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft Malware Protection Engine, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error when parsing PDF (Portable Document Format) files. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted PDF file is scanned.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
