From Secunia:

Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in various McAfee products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the SecurityCenter Subscription Manager ActiveX control (McSubMgr.dll) when handling the “IsOldAppInstalled()” method. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted argument passed to the said method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user visits a malicious website.

Solution:
The fix has reportedly been available via automatic updates since March 22, 2007.
