+    McAfee VirusScan for Linux is a commercial antivirus solution for
+    Linux.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Jakub Moc of Gentoo Linux discovered that McAfee VirusScan was
+    distributed with an insecure DT_RPATH which included the current
+    working directory, rather than $ORIGIN which was probably intended.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could entice a VirusScan user to scan an arbitrary file and
+    execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the VirusScan user by
+    tricking the dynamic loader into loading an untrusted ELF DSO. An
+    automated system, such as a mail scanner, may be subverted to execute
+    arbitrary code with the privileges of the process invoking VirusScan.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Do not scan files or execute VirusScan from an untrusted working
+    directory.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    As VirusScan verifies that it has not been modified before executing,
+    it is not possible to correct the DT_RPATH. Furthermore, this would
+    violate the license that VirusScan is distributed under. For this
+    reason, the package has been masked in Portage pending the resolution
+    of this issue.
+    </p>
