The virus detection engine in Sophos Anti-Virus before 2.49.0 does not properly process malformed (1) CAB, (2) LZH, and (3) RAR files with modified headers, which might allow remote attackers to bypass malware detection.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Sophos Antivirus Library, as used by Sophos Antivirus, PureMessage, MailMonitor, and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Visio file with a crafted sub record length.
