What is CVE-2012-1419?

The TAR file parser in ClamAV versions 0.96.4 and Quick Heal 11.00 is susceptible to a vulnerability that permits remote attackers to circumvent malware detection. By utilizing a specially crafted POSIX TAR file containing an initial '[aliases]' character sequence, attackers can exploit this weakness to evade detection systems, potentially allowing malicious files to remain undetected on affected systems.
