Re: [Full-disclosure] n.runs-SA-2007.027 - Sophos Antivirus UPX parsing Arbitrary CodeExecution Advisory

I remember people being all paranoid about the DMCA. They were worried
security researchers would be sued for trying to release vulnerability
information. But since that turned out to be unfounded, I guess we don't
have to worry about the German thing. ;)

Would you have honestly provided *MORE* detail prior to the law being
in effect?

Doesn't the law refer to things that are intended to be used for
illegal activity?

I don't recall the advisories being any more verbose pre law....

Thanks.

Hi 3APA3A,

It was a mistake in the advisory,
It should say:

"Integer cast around in UPX packed files parsing"

I ask for apologies for the mistake.
Unfortunately we can't give more details about the vulnerability
because
the German Law (§202)

Cheers,
Sergio
