CVE-2005-3223: Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of Rising Antivirus allows remote attackers to bypass...

Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of Rising 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 a way to hide a malicious executable inside a malformed RAR archive so Rising Antivirus may miss it. The business risk is reduced malware detection, not a direct system takeover by the antivirus itself. Affected versions and vendor fixes are not specified in the source record. Exposure is most plausible where Rising Antivirus scans inbound RAR archives on endpoints, mail gateways, or file-ingestion workflows. Scope is hard to confirm because the CVE lists unspecified versions and no CPEs. Treat this as a legacy control-evasion risk. Prioritize only if Rising Antivirus is still in use or archive-based malware handling depends on it. Otherwise, document non-exposure and maintain layered archive controls. Mitigation focus: Check Rising vendor guidance for affected versions and available updates.; Update antivirus engines and archive parsing components where supported.; Block or quarantine malformed archives at email and web gateways..
