+ <p>
+ McAfee VirusScan for Linux is a commercial antivirus solution for
+ Linux.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Jakub Moc of Gentoo Linux discovered that McAfee VirusScan was
+ distributed with an insecure DT_RPATH which included the current
+ working directory, rather than $ORIGIN which was probably intended.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a VirusScan user to scan an arbitrary file and
+ execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the VirusScan user by
+ tricking the dynamic loader into loading an untrusted ELF DSO. An
+ automated system, such as a mail scanner, may be subverted to execute
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the process invoking VirusScan.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Do not scan files or execute VirusScan from an untrusted working
+ directory.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ As VirusScan verifies that it has not been modified before executing,
+ it is not possible to correct the DT_RPATH. Furthermore, this would
+ violate the license that VirusScan is distributed under. For this
+ reason, the package has been masked in Portage pending the resolution
+ of this issue.
