Summary
Multiple interpretation error in various F-Secure Anti-Virus products, including Workstation 5.43 and earlier, Windows Servers 5.50 and earlier, MIMEsweeper 5.50 and earlier, Anti-Virus for Linux Servers and Gateways 4.61 and earlier, and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass antivirus protection via a compressed file with both local and global headers set to zero, which does not prevent the compressed file from being opened on the target system.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
