Description: A vulnerability was reported in F-Secure Internet Security. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A local user can obtain elevated privileges on the target system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted LHA archive or other archive or packed executable that, when processed by the target
application, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges
of the target user.
The vendor credits Tavis Ormandy in Google Security Team and Sergio Alvarez of n.runs AG with discovering
these vulnerabilities.
A local user can send a specially crafted I/O request packet to exploit an access validation flaw in the
Real-time Scanning function to execute arbitrary commands on the target system with elevated privileges. The vendor discovered
this vulnerability.
