Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in various F-Secure products, which can be exploited by malware to bypass certain scanning functionality.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when parsing ".zip" archives and can be exploited via a specially crafted ".zip" archive, which the scanner incorrectly calculates be of zero length.
