Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code but requires an installation on the x86 platform with the Console Server installed. The vulnerability affects the following products: * CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise (formally eTrust Antivirus) r8 * CA Threat Manager (formally eTrust Integrated Threat Management) r8 * CA Anti-Spyware (formally eTrust PestPatrol) r8 * CA Protection Suites r3 2) The problem is that the Task Service component (InoTask.exe) uses a shared file mapping with a NULL security descriptor. This can be exploited by malicious users to cause a stack-based buffer overflow within InoCore.dll by modifying a certain string within the file mapping. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerability affects the following products: * CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise (formally eTrust Antivirus) r8 * CA Threat Manager (formally eTrust Integrated Threat Management) r8 SOLUTION: Patches are available via automatic updates. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Discovered by Tenable Network Security and reported via ZDI. 2) Discovered by binagres and reported via iDefense Labs.
