The Task Service component of eTrust Antivirus, InoTask.exe, is used to schedule and execute tasks such as scanning the system for virii. The service uses a shared file mapping to share information about scheduled tasks. The file mapping has a NULL security descriptor, which allows any user to modify its contents. By modifying a string inside of this mapping an attacker can trigger a stack based overflow in the InoTask process. iDefense confirmed that CA eTrust Antivirus r8 on Windows is vulnerable.
