NOD32 Antivirus Long Path Name Stack Overflow Vulnerabilities

NOD32 Antivirus v2.7 (Versions prior to the update 2.70.37.0)

IV - ADVANCED DESCRIPTION

It's not going to be publicly available, nevertheless it has been only
shared with ESET.

V - EXPLOITATION

A PoC has been developed to probe the vulnerability, but it's not going
to be publicly available. It has been only shared with ESET.

Although the vulnerabilities are hard to exploit, it's not impossible.
There are some restrictions to bypass:

- The path name is formated in Unicode, so we have to find an opcode
in an address with an unicode format
- The shellcode has to be in the path name so we have to use an
Alphanumeric shellcode

VI - SOLUTION

The vulnerabilities was reported on April 19 and on May 10. An update
has been issued on May 18 to solve these vulnerabilities through the
regular update mechanism.
