Quote: "Comodo's range of solutions gives businesses the ability
to create online trust through proprietary technology that help
e-businesses convert more customers, retain more customers and

II. Description

The parsing engine can be bypassed by a specially crafted and formated
RAR archive. Details are currently witheld due to other vendors that are
in process of deploying patches.

A general description of the impact and nature of AV Bypasses/evasions
can be read at :
http://blog.zoller.lu/2009/04/case-for-av-bypassesevasions.html
The bug results in denying the engine the possibility to inspect
code within the RAR archive. There is no inspection of the content
at all and hence the impossibility to detect malicious code.
