> ===========
> 
> LinuxShield detects and removes viruses and other potentially unwanted
> software on Linux-based systems. LinuxShield uses the powerful McAfee
> scanning engine - the engine common to all our anti-virus products.
> 
> Although a few years ago, the Linux operating system was considered a
> secure environment, it is now seeing more occurrences of software
> specifically written to attack or exploit security weaknesses in
> Linux-based systems. Increasingly, Linux-based systems interact with
> Windows-based computers. Although viruses written to attack Windows-
> based systems do not directly attack Linux systems, a Linux server can
> harbor these viruses, ready to infect any client that connects to it.
> 
> When installed on your Linux systems, LinuxShield provides protection
> against viruses, Trojan horses, and other types of potentially unwanted
> software.
> 
> LinuxShield scans files as they are opened and closed - a technique
> known as on-access scanning. LinuxShield also incorporates an on-demand
> scanner that enables you to scan any directory or file in your host at
> any time.
> 
> When kept up-to-date with the latest virus-definition (DAT) files,
> LinuxShield is an important part of your network security. We recommend
> that you set up an anti-virus security policy for your network,

> Description:
> ============
> 
> This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
> vulnerable installations of McAfee LinuxShield. User interaction is not
> required to exploit this vulnerability but an attacker must be
> authenticated.
> 
> The LinuxShield Webinterface communicates with the localy installed
> "nailsd" daemon, which listens on port 65443/tcp, to do configuration
> changes, query the configuration and execute tasks.
> 
> Each user, which can login to the victim box, can also authenticate it
> self to the "nailsd" and can do configuration changes and execute tasks
> with root privileges.
> 
> A direct execution of commands is not possible, but it is possible to
> download and execute code through manipulation of the config and execute
> schedule tasks of the LinuxShield.
