SA17126

The weakness affects version 4.0.1.14 when scanning emails containing
malformed ".zip", ".rar" and ".arj" archives. Other versions may also
be affected.

NOTE: This is not an issue on client systems, as the malware is still
detected upon execution by the desktop on-access scanner.

SOLUTION:
Desktop on-access scanner should be used to ensure that the malware
is detected upon extraction.

Filter all compressed file archives at border gateways if they are
not required.
