The Trend Micro scan engine before 8.320 for Windows and before 8.150 on HP-UX and AIX, as used in Trend Micro PC Cillin - Internet Security 2006, Office Scan 7.3, and Server Protect 5.58, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and system hang) via a malformed RAR archive with an Archive Header section with the head_size and pack_size fields set to zero, which triggers an infinite loop.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A crafted RAR archive can make vulnerable Trend Micro scan engines loop endlessly, consuming CPU and potentially hanging systems. The business risk is availability loss in legacy antivirus deployments that still inspect untrusted archives. Exposure is most likely in legacy Trend Micro PC Cillin Internet Security 2006, OfficeScan 7.3, or ServerProtect 5.58 deployments using affected scan engines. Treat as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize remediation where affected Trend Micro engines inspect email, downloads, or shared files, especially on critical servers. Mitigation focus: Inventory Trend Micro scan engine versions on Windows, HP-UX, and AIX systems.; Upgrade Windows scan engines to 8.320 or later.; Upgrade HP-UX and AIX scan engines to 8.150 or later..
