Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2007-3875 is a denial-of-service issue in CA antivirus archive handling. A specially malformed CHM file can trigger an infinite loop in vulnerable arclib.dll versions, causing loss of antivirus functionality. The main business risk is reduced malware protection on systems still running affected legacy CA products. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments using CA Anti-Virus, formerly eTrust Antivirus, version 8 or other CA products that include arclib.dll before 7.3.0.9. Modern environments are unlikely to be exposed unless old CA security software remains installed. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected CA products are still protecting critical systems. If they are, prioritize remediation because the vulnerability can remove antivirus protection rather than compromise the host directly. Mitigation focus: Inventory CA antivirus products and locate arclib.dll versions.; Update vulnerable CA products to arclib.dll 7.3.0.9 or later where applicable.; Review CA vendor advisories for product-specific update guidance..
