Symantec AV RAR library vulnerability

Myantispyware team December 21, 2005    

Yesterday, Alex Wheeler released details of a vulnerability that appears to span many Symantec A/V products in the routines for decoded RAR compressed files. Symantec is apparently working feverishly on a fix, but for the moment the recommendation is to disable scanning of these files (while use other A/V product). We are not currently aware of exploits in the wild, but the concern is that this has occurred so close to the end-of-year holidays, even if a fix does come out in the next few days, will people be around to apply it.
