CVE-2015-8577: McAfee Virusscan Enterprise

Low severity, CVSS 2.6. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Buffer Overflow Protection (BOP) feature in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise before 8.8 Patch 6 allocates memory with Read, Write, Execute (RWX) permissions at predictable addresses on 32-bit platforms when protecting another application, which allows attackers to bypass the DEP and ASLR protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

Affected products
