   CVE no - 
   CVE-2012-1457

40. A Windows Compiled HTML Help (CHM) file is a set of HTML files,
   scripts, and images compressed using the LZX algorithm.
   For faster random accesses, the algorithm is reset at intervals
   instead of compressing the entire file as a single stream. The
   length of each interval is specified in the LZXC header.

   If an infected CHM file's header modified so that the reset interval
   is lower than in the original file, the antivirus declares the file
   to be clean. But the Windows CHM viewer hh.exe correctly decompresses
   the infected content located before the tampered header.

   CVE no - 
   CVE-2012-1458

41. In a POSIX TAR archive, each member file has a 512-byte header protected
   by a simple checksum. Every header also contains a file length field, which
   is used by the extractor to locate the next header in the archive.

   If a TAR archive contains two files: the first one is clean, while
   the second is infected with test EICAR virus - and it is modified such that 
   the length field in the header of the first, clean file to point into the 
   middle of the header of the second, infected file. The antivirus declares 
   the file to be clean but virus gets extracted correctly by the 
   GNU tar program.

   CVE-2012-1459

42. If an infected tar.gz archive is appended 6 random bytes at the end, 
    the antivirus declares the file to be clean but virus gets extracted by
    the gunzip+tar programs correctly by ignoring these bytes.

   Affected products -
   Antiy-AVL 2.0.3.7, CAT-QuickHeal 11.00, Command 5.2.11.5, 
   eSafe 7.0.17.0, F-Prot 4.6.2.117, Jiangmin 13.0.900,

   CVE no - 
   CVE-2012-1460

43. GZIP files can contain multiple compressed streams, which are assembled
    when the contents are extracted. If an infected .tar.gz file is broken 
    into two streams, the antivirus declares the infected .tar.gz file to 
    be clean while tar+gunzip extract the virus correctly

   Affected products -
   AVG 10.0.0.1190, BitDefender 7.2, Command 5.2.11.5, Emsisoft 5.1.0.1,

   CVE no - 
   CVE-2012-1461

44. If an infected ZIP archive is prepended with 1024 random bytes at the 
   beginning, the antivirus declares the file to be clean but virus gets extracted
   by the unzip program correctly by skipping these bytes

   Affected products -
   AhnLab-V3 2011.01.18.00, AVG 10.0.0.1190, CAT-QuickHeal 11.00, 
   Emsisoft 5.1.0.1, eSafe 7.0.17.0, Fortinent 4.2.254.0, Ikarus T3.1.1.97.0,

   Symantec 20101.3.0.103 

   CVE no - 
   CVE-2012-1462

45. In most ELF files, the 5th byte of the header indicates endianness: 01
   for little-endian, 02 for bigendian. Linux kernel, however, does not
   check this field before loading an ELF file. If an infected ELF file's 5-th 
   byte is set to 02, the antivirus declares the file to be clean but the ELF 
   file gets executed correctly.

   Affected products -
   AhnLab-V3 2011.01.18.00, BitDefender 7.2, CAT-QuickHeal 11.00, Command 5.2.11.5,
