CVE-2014-3381
The ZIP inspection engine in Cisco AsyncOS 8.5 and earlier on the Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) does not properly analyze ZIP archives, which allows remote attackers to bypass malware filtering via a crafted archive, aka Bug ID CSCup07934.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.72%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
