Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of ArcaVir 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 old CVE describes an antivirus bypass: a malicious executable inside a specially malformed RAR archive could be missed by ArcaVir Antivirus while still being opened by some archive tools. Business risk depends on whether any legacy ArcaVir-based scanning remains in mail, web, or file-transfer paths. Exposure is likely limited to environments still using ArcaVir Antivirus or its engine in legacy endpoint, gateway, mail, web, or file-upload scanning workflows. The supplied CVE data lists affected vendor, product, and versions as unspecified. Treat this as a legacy exposure review rather than an emergency unless ArcaVir is still in production. If present in business-critical scanning paths, prioritize replacement, vendor confirmation, and layered controls. Mitigation focus: Inventory any ArcaVir Antivirus or ArcaVir engine deployments.; Check vendor guidance for affected versions, updates, or retirement advice.; Avoid relying on one antivirus engine for archive scanning decisions..
