Multiple F-Secure archive denial of service
| fsecure-archive-dos (34581) |  Low 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.
Platforms Affected:
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus 2005
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus 2006
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus 2007
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus Client Security 7.00 and prior

- F-Secure, Anti-Virus for Windows Servers 7.00 and prior
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus for Workstation 7.0 and prior
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus Linux Client Sec 5.52 and prior
- F-Secure, Anti-Virus Linux Server Sec 5.52 and prior
- F-Secure, Internet Gatekeeper 6.60 and prior
- F-Secure, Internet Gatekeeper for Linux 2.16 and prior
