DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
(e.g. traceapp.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to
load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a Word
Document with an embedded ActiveX control located on a remote WebDAV
or SMB share in Microsoft Office 2003.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 8.5.0i (patch 8, 32bit
scanmodule version 5400.1158, DAT version 6107.0000). Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
