Description:
The issue is related to a crafted RAR archive file that triggers heap corruption, potentially allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.
Recommendations:
For CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise versions 7.1 through r8.1, update to a version that is not affected by this issue.
For CA Anti-Virus 2007 through 2009, update to a version that is not affected by this issue.
For CA eTrust EZ Antivirus version r7.1, update to a version that is not affected by this issue.
