What is CVE-2004-2305?

A security issue in eTrust Antivirus from Computer Associates allows attackers to circumvent virus scanning functionality. This occurs when a password-protected file is included within a ZIP archive; in such cases, eTrust Antivirus scans only the password-protected file, failing to check the remaining files within the ZIP archive. This flaw poses a risk of malware distribution through unscanned files, making it essential for users to be aware and ensure comprehensive security measures are in place.
