A vulnerability was found in MicroWord eScan Antivirus 7.0.32 on Linux and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function strcpy of the component VirusPopUp. The manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
