Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of (1) eTrust-Iris and (2) eTrust-Vet 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 detection bypass: malicious executables inside malformed RAR archives could be missed by eTrust-Iris and eTrust-Vet antivirus. The archive format inconsistency matters because some archive tools could still open the file while others rejected it as corrupted. The sources do not identify affected versions, a patch, CVSS score, or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still using eTrust-Iris or eTrust-Vet to inspect RAR archives in email, web downloads, or endpoint scanning. The source bundle does not provide version ranges, supported platforms, or CPEs, so asset validation is required. Treat this as a legacy-control risk. If these antivirus engines are no longer present, priority is low. If they still protect email or download paths, prioritize replacement or compensating controls because the sources do not provide a clear patch path. Mitigation focus: Inventory and retire any remaining eTrust-Iris or eTrust-Vet antivirus deployments.; Check vendor guidance for affected versions, updates, or migration recommendations.; Quarantine or block malformed archives at mail and web gateways..
