Overview:

Founded in 1992, ESET is a global provider of security software for
enterprises and consumers. ESET's award-winning, antivirus software
system,

spyware, rootkits and other malware. NOD32 offers the smallest, fastest

Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the file parsing engine.

In detail, the following flaw was determined:

- Divide by Zero in .CHM file parsing.
- Heap Overflow through Integer Overflow in .DOC File Parsing

The .DOC problem can lead to remote arbitrary code execution if an
attacker
carefully crafts a file that exploits the aforementioned vulnerabilities.
The vulnerabilities are present in NOD32 Antivirus software versions prior
to the update v.1.1743.

Solution:
The vulnerabilities were reported on Aug 24 and an update has been issued
on
Sep 08 to solve these vulnerabilities through the regular update
mechanism.
