BitDefender CAB Scan Evasion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 38829

Synopsis

Description

The remote version of BitDefender Antivirus is running with a signature update before April 13, 2009. Such versions are affected by a scan evasion vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this flaw to package malicious code in a specially crafted 'CAB' file so that it will not be detected by the scan engine.
