Buffer overflow in the On-Access Scanner in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise before 8.0i Patch 12 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename containing multi-byte (Unicode) characters.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old McAfee VirusScan Enterprise flaw where scanning a specially long Unicode filename could crash memory handling and allow code execution. The main business concern is legacy endpoint security software still running before 8.0i Patch 12, especially on systems that process untrusted files. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise earlier than 8.0i Patch 12. Systems that receive email attachments, shared files, removable media, or downloaded files are more relevant because the scanner processes filenames during access. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high impact if still present. It should be prioritized where old McAfee agents run on systems handling untrusted files, but it is not supported by the supplied sources as currently exploited. Mitigation focus: Identify McAfee VirusScan Enterprise installs older than 8.0i Patch 12.; Apply 8.0i Patch 12 or later, following McAfee guidance.; Prioritize endpoints and servers that process untrusted files..
