Description:
Sergio Alvarez has reported two vulnerabilities in avast!, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors within the parsing of .CAB and .SIS files and can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows via a specially crafted .CAB or .SIS file.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities reportedly affects versions prior to 4.7.766 for servers, 4.7.700 for the Managed Client product, and 4.7.1029 for Home/Professional editions.
