CVE-2005-0644 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in McAfee Scan Engine 4320, specifically with DAT versions prior to 4436. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious LHA file containing a malformed type 2 header file name field. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation or public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) has been identified, and community discussion is minimal, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 90/100 indicates significant potential danger.
