Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of Dr.Web Antivirus allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a malicious executable in a specially crafted RAR file with malformed central and local headers, which can still be opened by products such as Winrar and PowerZip, even though they are rejected as corrupted by Winzip and BitZipper.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes an antivirus bypass in Dr.Web Antivirus involving malformed RAR archives. A malicious executable could be packaged so some archive tools still open it while Dr.Web detection may be bypassed. The affected Dr.Web versions are not specified in the provided sources, and no CVSS score or vendor fix is provided. Exposure is most plausible in legacy environments using Dr.Web Antivirus to scan inbound email, downloaded archives, file shares, or endpoint files. Because affected versions are unspecified, exposure cannot be confirmed from product name alone. Treat this as a legacy exposure question, not a confirmed emergency. Prioritize inventory and vendor support checks if Dr.Web is still used in mail, endpoint, or gateway scanning paths. Mitigation focus: Inventory Dr.Web Antivirus deployments and archive-scanning entry points.; Check Dr.Web vendor guidance for fixed versions or migration advice.; Upgrade or replace unsupported Dr.Web installations where found..
