Multiple F-Secure archive denial of service
| fsecure-archive-dos (34581) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Multiple F-Secure Anti-Virus applications are vulnerable to a denial of service. By creating a specially-crafted ARJ archive or FSG packed executable file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service, if the attacker could persuade the victim to scan a malicious file.
