AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
A remote attacker can crash the scanning engine of F-Secure Atlant and certain WithSecure products by exploiting a DoS vulnerability in the aeheur.dll component.
Vulnerability
A Denial-of-Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the aeheur.dll component of F-Secure Atlant and certain WithSecure products. When the scanning engine processes a crafted file, the component can crash, leading to a denial of service. The affected versions are not explicitly listed in the available references, but the vulnerability affects F-Secure Atlant and related WithSecure products.
Exploitation
An attacker can trigger this vulnerability remotely by sending a specially crafted file to be scanned by the affected product. No authentication or user interaction is required beyond the file being processed by the scanning engine.
Impact
Successful exploitation causes the scanning engine to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This prevents the product from scanning files until the engine is restarted, potentially leaving the system unprotected during that time.
Mitigation
No specific fix version is disclosed in the available references. Users are advised to monitor F-Secure and WithSecure security advisories for updates. As of the publication date (2022-07-14), no patch has been announced in the provided references.
