VULHUB ™

Multiple Vendor Antivirus applications are reported vulnerable to a zip file detection evasion vulnerability. This vulnerability may allow maliciously crafted zip files to avoid being scanned and detected. A remote attacker can craft a malicious zip archive and send it a vulnerable user. The malicious archive can bypass the protection provided by a vulnerable antivirus program, giving users a false sense of security. If the user opens and executes the file, this attack can result in a malicious code infection. This issue is reported to affected products offered by McAfee, Computer Associates, Kaspersky, Sophos, Eset and RAV. Latest antivirus products by Symantec, Bitdefender, Trend Micro and Panda are not vulnerable to this issue.
