Hallo Tech,

Read here: http://www.rem0te.com/public/images/panda.pdf The vulnerability (highly critical) is caused due to a boundary error in “pskcmp.dll” when performing Lempel-Ziv decompression of ZOO-archives. This can be exploited to cause a heap-buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code execution when a malicious ZOO archive is scanned. Threat: system access from remote.
Solution: filter ZOO archives at email and proxy gateways.
Other vendors may have problems whenever they share this PANDA technology. Look here:

That is the best survey I can give you, else we here from Vlk, I guess (ustawiena …).
