Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-04-08 10:36:44 UTC
ReversingLabs Corp reported a deficiency in the way Clam AntiVirus
checked / scanned ZIP, CAB, 7Z and RAR archive files for presence
of viruses. Providing a specially-crafted archive file could
allow an attacker to bypass the traditional viruses detection
mechanisms (resulting in archive with malicious content to be
considered as valid).
