DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in various F-Secure products, which
can be exploited by malware to bypass certain scanning functionality.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when parsing ".zip"
archives and can be exploited via a specially crafted ".zip" archive,
which the scanner incorrectly calculates be of zero length.

Successful exploitation causes malware in a specially crafted ".zip"
archive to bypass the scanning functionality.

NOTE: This is not a critical issue on client systems, as the malware
still is detected when it is extracted.
