I believe for the time being, the full details should
only be reported to AV softwares. This issue had a
detailed discussion on my Winrar advisory,
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8572    nine months
ago.

Latest [unconfirmed] report from some users suggest,
Panda antivirus is also vulnerable to such attacks.
[even for MAC users] 

You can get the updates on this issue at.......
http://www.geocities.com/visitbipin/Multiple_AV_DoS.html

well there was ways exploiting the AV software on wild
but... AV companies ignored? the issue.


--- [Vulnerable Products] ---

       Only tested on...

* Norton Antivirus 2002
* Norton Antivirus 2003
* Mcafee VirusScan 6 
* Network Associates (McAfee) VirusScan Enterprise 7.1
* Rav Antivirus online Scanner [Couldn't complete the
scan...]
* Windows Xp default ZIP manager [report's wrong size
of compress ZIP files.]



There has been multiple reports [Unconfirmed]

*F-Prot 4.4.2 for Linux
*Panda Antivirus

  Are vulnerable.
