CVE-2005-2903 describes a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 2.5, specifically with nod32.002 build 1127 and active scanning enabled. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a specially crafted ARJ archive containing a file with an excessively long filename. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While the EPSS score is low and there's no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the potential for remote code execution warrants attention.
