Summary

The vulnerability in Eset Anti-Virus before version 1.020 (September 16, 2004) allows a remote attacker to bypass antivirus protection via a compressed file with both local and global headers set to zero. Such a file can be opened on the target system without being detected by the antivirus software.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an attacker can deliver malware hidden in a specially crafted compressed file that bypasses antivirus scanning and is executed on the victim's computer, leading to system infection.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update Eset Anti-Virus to version 1.020 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. Consider implementing additional security layers such as network traffic scanning and blocking suspicious files.
