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

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

1) An error when processing LZH files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted LZH file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) A divide-by-zero error when processing UPX-compressed files can be exploited to crash the application via a specially crafted UPX-compressed file.

3) An error when processing TAR files can be exploited to cause an infinite loop consuming available CPU resources.
