An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-1461 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Protection. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-1461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1461/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-1461","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qj9h-4crw-68p7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Antivirus scanning engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass malware detection in multiple antivirus engines by submitting a crafted .tar.gz file with multiple compressed streams.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vba32","vendor":"anti-virus"},{"product":"command_antivirus","vendor":"authentium"},{"product":"avg_anti-virus","vendor":"avg"},{"product":"bitdefender","vendor":"bitdefender"},{"product":"anti-malware","vendor":"emsisoft"},{"product":"nod32_antivirus","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"f-secure_anti-virus","vendor":"f-secure"},{"product":"fortinet_antivirus","vendor":"fortinet"},{"product":"ikarus_virus_utilities_t3_command_line_scanner","vendor":"ikarus"},{"product":"jiangmin_antivirus","vendor":"jiangmin"},{"product":"antivirus","vendor":"k7computing"},{"product":"kaspersky_anti-virus","vendor":"kaspersky"},{"product":"gateway","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"scan_engine","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"norman_antivirus_\\\u0026_antispyware","vendor":"norman"},{"product":"rising_antivirus","vendor":"rising-global"},{"product":"sophos_anti-virus","vendor":"sophos"},{"product":"endpoint_protection","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"housecall","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"trend_micro_antivirus","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The Gzip file parser in AVG Anti-Virus 10.0.0.1190, Bitdefender 7.2, Command Antivirus 5.2.11.5, Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.1.0.1, F-Secure Anti-Virus 9.0.16160.0, Fortinet Antivirus 4.2.254.0, Ikarus Virus Utilities T3 Command Line Scanner 1.1.97.0, Jiangmin Antivirus 13.0.900, K7 AntiVirus 9.77.3565, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0.0.125, McAfee Anti-Virus Scanning Engine 5.400.0.1158, McAfee Gateway (formerly Webwasher) 2010.1C, NOD32 Antivirus 5795, Norman Antivirus 6.06.12, Rising Antivirus 22.83.00.03, Sophos Anti-Virus 4.61.0, AVEngine 20101.3.0.103 in Symantec Endpoint Protection 11, Trend Micro AntiVirus 9.120.0.1004, Trend Micro HouseCall 9.120.0.1004, and VBA32 3.12.14.2 allows remote attackers to bypass malware detection via a .tar.gz file with multiple compressed streams.
