One of the antivirus engines depends on a signature pattern from a database to identify malicious files and viruses; the antivirus bypass exploit looks to alter the file being scanned so it is not detected." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "AV Bypass" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "105918", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/105918" }, { "name": "https://support.symantec.com/content/unifiedweb/en_US/article.SYMSA1468.html", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://support.symantec.com/content/unifiedweb/en_US/article.SYMSA1468.html" } ] } }
