TITLE:
McAfee Products Archive Handling Security Bypass

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34949

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34949/

DESCRIPTION:
Some weaknesses have been reported in various McAfee products, which
can be exploited by malware to bypass the scanning functionality.

The weaknesses are caused due to errors in the handling of archive
file formats (e.g. RAR and ZIP), which can be exploited to bypass the
anti-virus scanning functionality via specially crafted archive files.

SOLUTION:
Update .DAT files to DAT 5600 or later.
