Sophos Anti-Virus before 3.87.0, and Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 95, 98, and Me before 3.88.0, allows remote attackers to bypass antivirus protection via a compressed file with both local and global headers set to zero, which does not prevent the compressed file from being opened on a target system.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old antivirus evasion issue. Certain malformed compressed files could bypass Sophos Anti-Virus scanning, allowing a file to be opened on a target system without expected detection. The vulnerability affects specific legacy Sophos versions, not the operating system itself. Exposure is most plausible in legacy environments still running the named Sophos versions, especially where email, web downloads, or file shares depend on endpoint antivirus archive scanning. Current enterprise exposure is likely low but cannot be confirmed from the supplied sources. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless old Sophos deployments are still present. If confirmed, prioritize upgrade or retirement because antivirus bypass weakens a core control against malicious attachments and downloads. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Sophos Anti-Virus to 3.87.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Windows 95/98/Me Sophos deployments to 3.88.0 or later.; Retire unsupported legacy antivirus and operating system deployments..
