Description Robert Muchacki (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-01 06:13:17 UTC
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. 

I've noticed that "Gentoo" is in the list ov vulnerable systems.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Sorry, my mistake. Didn't notice the GLSA on that.
