CVE-2005-3399 describes a multiple interpretation error in CAT-QuickHeal 8.0, allowing attackers to bypass virus scanning. This vulnerability occurs when files like BAT, HTML, or EML contain an "MZ" magic byte sequence, causing the antivirus to misidentify them as safe while they can still be executed as dangerous types. With a CVSS score of 5.0, this medium-severity vulnerability has a network attack vector, low complexity, and a potential impact of partial integrity compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, suggesting it is not widely targeted.
