“C:Program FilesCASharedComponentsScanEngine” directory(*).
2. Right click on the file and select Properties.
3. Select the Version tab.
4. If the file version is earlier than indicated in the table
below, the installation is vulnerable.

File Name File Version
arclib.dll 7.3.0.9

*For eTrust Intrusion Detection 2.0 the file is located in
“Program FileseTrustIntrusion DetectionCommon”, and for eTrust
Intrusion Detection 3.0 and 3.0 sp1, the file is located in
“Program FilesCAIntrusion DetectionCommon”.
