CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:

>From remote

SOFTWARE:
McAfee VirusScan Command Line
http://secunia.com/product/4802/

DESCRIPTION:
Jakub Moc has reported a vulnerability in McAfee VirusScan Command
Line Scanner, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the current working directory
being part of the list of directories that are searched for libraries
at runtime. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by e.g.
creating a malicious shared object and tricking a user into running
the scanner in the same directory.

Note: This does not affect the Windows version.

SOLUTION:
Use the scanner from trusted directories only.
