CORE-2008-0320 - Insufficient argument validation of hooked SSDT functions on multiple Antivirus and Firewalls

*Vulnerability Description*

Insufficient argument validation of hooked SSDT functions on multiple
Antivirus and Firewalls (BitDefender Antivirus [1], Comodo Firewall [2],
Sophos Antivirus [3] and Rising Antivirus [4]) have been found that
could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) and possibly to code execution
attacks. An attacker, utilizing these flaws, could be able to locally
reboot the whole system shutting down the firewall or anti-virus
protection. However, in some cases it may be possible to extend the
impact of these bugs, and they could lead to the execution of arbitrary
code in the privileged kernel mode.

[CORE-2009-1209] Google SketchUp 'lib3ds' 3DS Importer Memory Corruption

3. *Vulnerability Description*

Google SketchUp is a 3D modeling program designed for architects, civil
engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. Google
SketchUp bundles an old version of 'lib3ds', a library used to process
3DS files. This library is being compiled in a way that leads to
improper validation of data when importing 3DS files; this condition can
be exploited by remote attackers to trigger a memory corruption
vulnerability by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially
crafted 3DS file, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution.
