The TAR file parser in ClamAV 0.96.4 and Quick Heal (aka Cat QuickHeal) 11.00 allows remote attackers to bypass malware detection via a POSIX TAR file with an initial [aliases] character sequence. NOTE: this may later be SPLIT into multiple CVEs if additional information is published showing that the error occurred independently in different TAR parser implementations.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes an antivirus evasion issue, not direct system takeover. Certain TAR archives could be parsed in a way that lets malware avoid detection by ClamAV 0.96.4 and Quick Heal 11.00. Business impact depends on whether these old engines still protect email, file uploads, or endpoints. Exposure is most plausible in legacy deployments still using ClamAV 0.96.4 or Quick Heal 11.00 for archive scanning. Relevant locations include mail gateways, upload pipelines, file shares, and endpoint scanning. Modern or patched antivirus engines are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize if the organization still runs the named legacy antivirus versions in a protective control path. Without confirmed current exposure, active exploitation, or severity data, this is not enough evidence for emergency action, but it warrants legacy-control cleanup. Mitigation focus: Identify any ClamAV 0.96.4 or Quick Heal 11.00 deployments.; Check vendor advisories or support channels for fixed versions and upgrade guidance.; Replace unsupported legacy antivirus engines in mail and upload scanning paths..
