RE: Multiple Antivirus Scanners DoS attack.

["Messer, Jon" <JMesser () pelco com>]

Symantec AV Corporate version 8 doesnt seem to be affected. I scanned the
blackhole.zip file and SAV corp v8 blew right through all levels of the
compression and found and quarantined the EICAR test strings.

Linux uvscan scan engine 4.3.20 (MacAfee) is also vulnerable.
uvscan takes all CPU and lots of memory been only killed with signal 9 from
another terminal.
