Summary
F-Prot 4.6.8 for GNU/Linux allows remote attackers to bypass anti-virus protection via a crafted ELF program with a "corrupted" header that still allows the program to be executed. NOTE: due to an error in the initial disclosure, F-secure was incorrectly stated as the vendor.
Exploit prediction
3.06% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 87% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
