Discussion
Avast! Linux Home Edition ISO and RPM File Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Avast! Linux Home Edition is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
Avast! Linux Home Edition 1.0.8 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
