F-Secure has patched several vulnerabilities in its security products, the most critical of which could be used to run unauthorized software on a victim's computer.
The most critical of these bugs affects F-Secure's anti-virus products. A flaw in the way the software unpacks files that have been compressed using the LHA archiving format could allow an attacker to crash the system, or even run unauthorized software on the computer, F-Secure said in an advisory, published Wednesday.
Security vendor Secunia ApS rates the bug as highly critical. The flaw affects F-Secure's Anti-Virus, Internet Gatekeeper, and Internet Security product suites. A second less-critical vulnerability in some of the company's anti-virus software was also patched Wednesday.
