Descriptions

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i and 8.7i does not properly interact with the processing of hcp:// URLs by the Microsoft Help and Support Center, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malware that is correctly detected by this product, but with a detection approach that occurs too late to stop the code execution.

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise v8.5i y v8.7i no interactúan de forma adecuada con el procesado de URLs hcp:// debido a la ayuda y centro de soporte de Microsoft, lo que facilita a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código a través de malware que se detecta correctamente por este producto, pero con una detección que se produce demasiado tarde para detener la ejecución de código.
