Software Not Affected:
Technical Description:
A security vulnerability exists in the Microsoft ASN.1 Library that
could allow code execution on an affected system. The vulnerability is
caused by an unchecked buffer in the Microsoft ASN.1 Library, which
could result in a buffer overflow.
An attacker who successfully exploited this buffer overflow
vulnerability could execute code with system privileges on an affected
system. The attacker could then take any action on the system, including
installing programs, viewing data, changing data, deleting data, or
creating new accounts with full privileges.
Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) is a data standard that is used by
many applications and devices in the technology industry for allowing
the normalization and understanding of data across various platforms.
More information about ASN.1 can be found in Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 252648.

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
