Multiple AV Vendor Incorrect CRC32 Bypass
Vulnerability.

Affected Product:
AVG 718
Sybari (Antigen for M$ exchange) 7.5.1314
Symantec 8.0
McAfee 4442
BitDefender 7.0


Description:
if you create a zip archive with invalid CRC
checksum...... some AV skip scanning the archive
marking it as clean........ by this way, you can
bypass antivirus gateways and slip in any attachment
without scanning the archive. Moreover, these days....
software tools automatically repair a *broken*
archive.

Vendor notification: I've lost faith in responsible
disclosure... long ago! Moreover, vendors don't
respond in timely manner.
