DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Sophos Anti-Virus, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error in veex.dll when processing CPIO archives can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a CPIO archive
containing an overly long, non-NULL terminated filename.

2) A boundary error in veex.dll when parsing SIT archives can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a SIT archive
containing a file with an overly long, non-NULL terminated filename.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of
arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.40 of the scanning engine.
