Multiple Interpretation Error in NOD32 Antivirus by ESET

CVE-2005-3212

What is CVE-2005-3212?

Multiple versions of NOD32 Antivirus by ESET contain a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to exploit a flaw in the way certain RAR files are processed. Specifically, the antivirus software fails to detect malicious executables embedded in specially crafted RAR files featuring malformed central and local headers. While these files can be opened by other software such as WinRAR and PowerZip, NOD32's failure to properly handle them can lead to successful virus detection bypass, posing significant risks to users.
