Descriptions

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.

El analizador de archivos TAR en ClamAV 0.96.4 y Quick Heal (también conocido como Cat QuickHeal) 11.00 permite a atacantes remotos evitar la detección de malware a través de un archivo TAR POSIX con una secuencia de caracteres inicial [aliases]. NOTA: esto más adelante se puede dividir en varios CVEs si la información adicional que se publica muestra que el error se produjo de forma independiente en diferentes implementaciones del analizador TAR.
