CVE-2007-4578 Information

Description

Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows and for Unix/Linux before 2.48.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted UPX packed file resulting from an \integer cast around. NOTE: as of 20070828 the vendor says this is a DoS and the researcher says this allows code execution but the researcher is reliable.
