Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Kaspersky Anti-Virus, which can be exploited by malware to bypass certain scanning functionality.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when parsing .zip archive headers and can be exploited via a specially crafted .zip archive where the uncompressed size of the archived file has been modified within the local and global headers.
Successful exploitation causes malware in a specially crafted .zip archive to pass the scanning functionality undetected.
NOTE: This is not a critical issue on client systems, as the malware still is detected upon execution.
