Title: Panda Antivirus EXE File Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Panda Antivirus is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Specifically, this issue presents itself when the application attempts to scan specially crafted EXE files. An integer overflow causes a buffer to be overrun with attacker-supplied data.
Successful exploits may result in arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM-level privileges. This facilitates the complete remote compromise of affected computers.
Versions of Panda Antivirus prior to 20 July 2007 are vulnerable to this issue.
Affected Products:
- Panda Antivirus
