Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the arj.ppl module in the OnDemand Scanner in Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Anti-Virus for Workstations, and Anti-Virus for File Servers 6.0, and Internet Security 6.0 before Maintenance Pack 2 build 6.0.2.614 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted ARJ archives.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en el módulo arj.ppl en OnDemand Scanner en Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Anti-Virus para estaciones de trabajo, y Anti-Virus para File Servers 6.0, e Internet Security 6.0 anterior a Maintenance Pack 2 construccion 6.0.2.614 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de archivos ARJ.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems with affected installations of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Engine. User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the engine's handling of the ARJ archive format. The Kaspersky engine copies data from scanned archives into an unchecked heap-based buffer. This results in heap corruption when a malformed ARJ archive is processed by an application that utilizes the engine. This corruption can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
