avast! CAB / SIS File Handling Buffer Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 25337

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is susceptible to buffer overflow attacks.

Description

The version of the avast! product installed on the remote host is reportedly prone to a heap-based overflow in its CAB and SIS file processing code. An attacker may be able to exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code on the remote host, likely with LOCAL SYSTEM privileges.
