You do know that anyone can create a new archive format that antiviruses
will not detect... Right?

> DESCRIPTION
> .kz is a proprietary archive format from an Asian editor KuaiZip:
> http://www.kuaizip.com/en/index.html
> This format, similar to lzma, is recent and very rare format type (not
> supported yet by most common archivers).
> By creating a .kz file archive a remote attacker could send a malicious
> payload within this compressed archive to bypass/evade antivirus protection.
> The succesful exploitation of this flaw allows attackers to plant a
> malicious file on a server or to store unwanted codes (DDOS tools,
> keyloguers, rootkit etc) on the intranet or any private network without
> being detected by the antivirus solution.
>
> The vulnerability concerns the incapacity of the scanner engine to inspect
> the code within the KuaiZip archive.
> Consequently, there is no possibility for the antivirus to detect any
> malicious file or payload on any environment: locally/client side, Mail
> gateway, web mail, cloud scan etc.
>
> IMPACT AND LIMITATIONS:
> As scanners engines do not support this new archive format, and as most
> antivirus are affected, the impact is a high.
> As .kz format is currently only supported by KuaiZip archiver, and as most
> antivirus will detect the malicious known code once extracted from the
> archive, therefore the risk of infection is limited.
