CVE-2010-3496: McAfee Virusscan Enterprise

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 4.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• McAfee Virusscan Enterprise: version 8.5i only; version 8.7i only
