This hotfix has been removed. The files included in the hotfix have been released as an update through the F-Secure Automatic Update Agent (AUA). The product automatically downloads and installs the updated files; the user or administrator does not need to do anything.
This hotfix solves the following RPM parsing vulnerability: If attackers send specially-made compressed file archives to users whose antivirus software is set to scan inside compressed archives, an integer overflow occurs. The result is a controlled buffer overflow attack. It allows the attackers to control the computer on the system level.
