BitDefender Antivirus 2008 ActiveX Control Double-Free Vulnerability
A BitDefender Antivirus 2008 ActiveX control is prone a double-free vulnerability because of a flaw in the way that the 'bdelev.dll' library handles certain object data prior to returning it. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Mitigation:
Update to a newer version of BitDefender Antivirus or switch to a different antivirus solution.
