Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in various F-Secure Antivirus products, which can be exploited by malware to bypass the scanning functionality.

1) An unspecified error within the handling of executable programs where the name has been manipulated in a certain way can be exploited to bypass the anti-virus scanning functionality.

2) An error causes files on removable media to not be scanned when the "Scan network devices" option has been disabled.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities bypasses the real-time scanning functionality and may result in execution of malware on the system.
