CA Patches 'High Risk' Anti-Virus Flaw

Ryan Naraine writes over on eWeek:

A high-risk buffer overflow vulnerability in Computer Associates International Inc.'s eTrust Vet anti-virus engine could put users at risk of PC takeover attacks, the company warned in an advisory.

The Islandia, N.Y., software giant issued an alert for the flaw late Monday with a chilling warning that a successful attacker using a specially crafted Microsoft Office document could "gain full access to the computer without any user interaction."
