    CVE-2008-5747

    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.
