Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Trend Micro OfficeScan, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. A boundary error in cgiRecvFile.exe can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an HTTP request with a specially crafted, overly long "ComputerName" parameter. The "TempFileName", "NewFileSize", and "Verify" parameters must also be manipulated to exploit the vulnerability. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. Trend Micro OfficeScan 7.3 patch 4 build 1362 is affected.
