CVE-2012-1428
The TAR file parser in Quick Heal (aka Cat QuickHeal) 11.00, Norman Antivirus 6.06.12, and Sophos Anti-Virus 4.61.0 allows remote attackers to bypass malware detection via a POSIX TAR file with a \4a\46\49\46 character sequence at a certain location.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 87.6%, higher than 100% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
