[Full-disclosure] Re: Secunia Research: HAURI Anti-Virus Compressed Archive Directory Traversal

[Andreas Marx <gega-it@xxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm sorry, but you were not the first one who noticed this kind of problem. :-)

I've discovered the same type of problems much earlier and reported it to the 
vendor several times. However, Hauri *never* responded to our inqueries. When I 
was calling them, they at least acknowledged that they got my mails, but 
nothing has happened later. You can find more details about the issue the in 
the following article:

"Durchleuchter - 16 Virenscanner für Windows", Andreas Marx & Axel Vahldiek, 
c't 01/2005, page 128pp. (10 pages)

The tests for this article were performed in November and December 2004. There 
are a lot more vulnerabilities in this product, e.g. everyone can get 
Administrator rights on a "protected" PC very easily. A good number of the 
problems are described in the above article for the German c't magazine, too.

BTW: It's interesting to see that you have tested *exactly* the same kind of 
archive files we've used in the c't review...

cheers,
