Buffer overflow in the web console in F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange 6.40, and Internet Gatekeeper 6.40 through 6.42 and 6.50 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors. NOTE: By default, the connections are only allowed from the local host.
CVE-2006-2838 is a security vulnerability that . Impacting 2 products from f-secure, from f-secure organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Originally identified in 2006, this vulnerability predates many modern security frameworks and practices. The vulnerability landscape of that era was characterized by different threat models and less mature defense mechanisms compared to contemporary standards.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For f-secure's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
