CVE-2007-2967: Multiple F-Secure anti-virus products for Microsoft Windows and Linux before 20070522 allow remote attacker...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old F-Secure antivirus issue can make affected scanners loop indefinitely while inspecting specially formed ARJ archives or FSG-packed files. The business impact is denial of service: mail, file, or endpoint scanning may stall or consume resources. The source bundle does not show data theft, code execution, or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in legacy F-Secure antivirus deployments from before 20070522, especially where scanners process untrusted email attachments, uploaded files, shared archives, or gateway traffic. The source bundle does not identify exact product names or supported versions beyond Windows and Linux F-Secure antivirus products. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. It is not shown as actively exploited, but outdated antivirus scanners can disrupt mail, upload, or file-processing workflows. Prioritize remediation where old F-Secure installations still inspect untrusted files. Mitigation focus: Inventory F-Secure antivirus installations on Windows and Linux systems.; Update affected F-Secure products to vendor-fixed versions after 20070522.; Check F-Secure advisory FSC-2007-3 for product-specific remediation..
