Trend Micro flaw opens PCs to takeover

Posted by: [NT] on: 02/08/2007 08:55 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] · 712 views

Trend Micro is warning of a serious security flaw in several of its products that could cause a vulnerable PC to crash or be hijacked.
The flaw in its antivirus scan engine could be used to trigger a buffer overflow using a corrupted UPX file, the software maker said in an advisory issued earlier this week. For example, an outsider could send an e-mail with the malicious file to a computer loaded with the affected antivirus software.
As a result, the PC could suffer a "blue screen of death" or allow the attacker to remotely execute code and take control of the system, Trend Micro said. Cnet has more.
