Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in various Sophos Anti-Virus products, which could be exploited by attackers or malware to take complete control of an affected system or cause a denial of service.
The first issue is due to a buffer overflow error when handling SIT files with long non-null terminated filenames, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a system protected by a vulnerable application.
The second vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow error when handling a CPIO file with a long
non-null terminated filename, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system via a specially crafted file.
