What is CVE-2005-3230?
An interpretation error in certain versions of Panda Antivirus allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection mechanisms. This occurs through a specially crafted RAR file containing malformed central and local headers. While Panda Antivirus fails to detect the malicious content, other archive-handling applications like WinRAR and PowerZip can open these files without issue, further exacerbating the risk as users may mistakenly assess the archives as safe. Consequently, this vulnerability poses a significant concern for users relying on effective antivirus solutions to protect against threats embedded in compressed file formats.
