A problem with SurfinGate could make it possible for an attacker to circumvent file filters that are set in place. It has been discovered that SurfinGate does not sufficiently dissect archive files for analysis. This may allow an attacker to circumvent the SurfinGate file filter rules by including a malicious file of a blacklisted type into a file archive (such as '.ZIP' or '.RAR'). SurfinGate versions 6.0 and later may detect that there is possibly a virus in the archive. However, this issue has not been completely addressed as of version 7.0.
