CVE-2005-2903
Heap-based buffer overflow in NOD32 2.5 with nod32.002 1.033 build 1127, with active scanning enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an ARJ archive containing a file with a long filename.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.85%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
