CVE-2006-2838 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the web console of F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange 6.40 and F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper versions 6.40-6.42 and 6.50. This flaw could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. While the CVSS score of 7.6 indicates high severity with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, exploitation is complex due to high access complexity and default local host connection restrictions.
